There's a point at which it's pointless to build single family homes. This [0] for example.

All the space between the houses is basically wasted. Much better to build townhouses and start putting the garages underground/on the side of the houses.

The problem with townhouses is there is always someone who won't let you do something you want to do.

That's more of a problem with HOAs than with townhouses. You don't have to have an HOA to have townhouses and detached houses sometimes have HOAs.

I have a non-HOA townhouse, and there's basically nothing I can't do with it that I could do with a detached house short of knocking down one of the side walls.
