I grew up in a city of mostly rowhomes and I love them. Plan on buying one one day.

You still get walk-ability, sense of community and good population density (not as good as a high-rise but still good), but also more privacy, and the space is more conducive to raising a family than an apartment. Also they're cute as fuck and people can paint them different colors and have cool little gardens on their porches and stuff.

Here are some rows across the street from me. Do these look lib / bourgeois? If so, what makes them lib / bourgeois? Each one is 3-4k sq ft and 5 of them fit in the footprint of one sprawl single family house. You can house like 20-40 people in this photo alone.

Those are brownstones. That’s like comparing a ranch style house to a McMansion.

What do you mean? The townhouses in OPs picture are probably over 100 years old, but are the working class builds of the day. I do t understand your comparison
