Did townhouses go somewhere?
I think they're not being built in most US (and maybe Canadian?) cities because nimbys only want single-family detached houses to be built to preserve their home's value
least that's what I've gathered from watching youtube videos on urban planning and reading articles
Gotcha. I'm in Seattle and I see a lot being built here.
People want single family detached homes, not because they want to preserve their home value, but because they want to preserve their quality of life.
They went to town.
Tax incentives and property values have made them less attractive for home builders. Meanwhile They're a waste of space and energy and people who live in townhomes and apartments rate as much happier than people living in detached homes
