As longtime readers know, I love reading the Inqy comments section where racist suburbanites wax philosophic on my urban hellhole. One common refrain is that Philly rowhouses are tiny "shoeboxes." And while it's true that they tend to be relatively narrow, and there are some truly tiny "trinity" rowhouses, many are actually quite large.
..adding, there's nothing wrong with small houses, but this is part of the general argument that urban living is incompatible with having a family.
