Why not build rowhouses? Even rowhouses that look like the 'modern farmouse' thing these are trying to be. Are they outlawed by zoning? Would seem a more efficient use of materials-- two whole sides of a dwelling are shared materials, not needing to be exterior weatherproofed. Is it a lack of imagination? Zoning? Code?
The missing middle is crying out for attention, and the population these are aimed at would love to have less maintenance responsibilities, I bet.

Yeah I don't get it either. There's nothing zoning-wise (that I know of) that would prohibit something denser. And the demand certainly seems to be there.
