Lest us all be beholden to landlords
As someone with shared walls, it absolutely is / was / will continue to be a goal. The best, I’d say. I don’t hear anything, its double brick so fairly fireproof, but the form factor is self-insulating so in the summer and winter my climate control bills are way lower than single family houses since the only surfaces against the outside are the front and back walls and the roof.
Rowhouse blocks with a comprehensive network of bike trails and bike lanes, with corner lots dedicated to ground level commercial, and every couple blocks you take the block of grid out and put a park in, with a metro station within a mile, attached to the bike network.
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.
Living in a 12’ wide rowhouse atm, I def think the sweet spot is 16-20’ wide, 50-80’ deep, and 3 stories with a partially finished basement.
The problem is that is a pretty big house. Thats 5500 sq ft on the high end and a little under 3k on the low end. You definitely need to house more than one or two people in them.
sideberry while keeping the tab bar on top cuz you’re too lazy to edit your userchrome
to be fair its running on Arch
Note they don’t all need to be convenience stores and restaraunts. Put in small grocers, doctors, dentists, hairdressers, tool and regular libraries, schools. If you make the corner plots big enough I can put apartments on top rather than another house.
