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.

I don't see the point. I used to live in one. It's a less space efficient appartment. You can just build those bigger.

it's only less space efficient if you don't give away rooms to people who can't afford rent think-about-it

It's an efficient way of making semi-dense housing while still fostering a sense of community. While not without issues there's a lot of positives from rowhouses.
