compare: "townhouse"-style apartment complex in Framingham MA (every unit shares at least a wall with at least one other unit) vs. residential neighborhood in Ota Ward, Tokyo (mostly detached houses with some "townhouse" and other apartments scattered throughout)pic.twitter.com/6X46TJPIQ8

Replying to @380kmh
ugh, that's awful. narrow streets + cars denormalized seems way better for inside cities. (is there any parking with those Tokyo houses at all? underground or something?)

yes, almost all will have parking for one car (two car garages are another story) sometimes it's underground or on the ground level, but usually it's adjacent to the house in one way or another (see pic--although in most cases, there is a gate protecting driveway from street)pic.twitter.com/ZTykZ8tDXD
