    Rowhouses defeat the point of suburbia. Why would you move to the suburbs to be so close to your neighbor?

      You clearly haven’t seen the McMansions that they sre building in Texas and Arizona. Big houses packed in so tightly that you can’t get a backhoe to the back yard.

        What back yard? 😂 I see them in TX and there’s maybe 4’ between the house and back fence, and that might just be bc of fire code or something

          This would be illegal in the UK, where the minimum distance between houses was set in the Victorian era as the shortest distance at which you can’t see a bare nipple. (The two gentlemen who drafted the law actually verified this empirically.)
