I love rowhomes. Every neighborhood with rowhomes feels like a real place where real people live. It’s the right trade off between density and livability, especially for families with kids. Commodified housing is still the main problem, but in terms of urban design, it doesn’t get much better.

Rent is 99k a month and your first born. Also planting in the garden is a lease violation

As I said, commodified housing is the main problem.

Kinda surprised by the number of people in here who seem to be objecting to this on the grounds of like, some minor inconvenience they might have which realistically is going to apply to pretty much anything that’s not like a detached single family home. Like what do you want? Suburbia but make it communist and good somehow?

Montréal has a fair amount of these and they’re pretty cool. Also variations of this ofc, like sometimes it’s not fully connected, but in groupings of four units with little passageways between the buildings, or they might have little yards or be 3 units tall, really depends on the area.

I helped a buddy of mine move to montreal into a rowhouse that looked just like this. First winter there, he ended up slipping down his second story staircase. Funniest phone call i’ve gotten in a long time.

Where do you bring your stroller and where do you put your bikes?

I keep my bike by the front door. Where do you keep yours?

As for strollers, consider it anti-krotchgoblin-aktion

So you carry that bike up 1.8m each time you get home? This doesn’t seem to be barrier free to me. Same with strollers, trolley’s of old people and wheelchairs.

i used to live in one of these and the stroller wasn’t an issue tbh. although i can see it potentially becoming an issue for anyone who has mobility problems

I was in San Francisco a few months ago, and it was full of gorgeous row houses with beautiful architecture. No wonder that city is full of nimby psychos.

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
