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.

strong agree. honestly alot of the lefty urbanite types here don't realize you can make very pleasant areas with multi-family units and attached single family units that provide walkable ammenities and don't have to force people to live in 600 sq ft.

Or that you're allowed to put embellishments on buildings and not everything has to be brutalism or corporate-bauhaus
