What is the deal with the term Brownstone being used for non-Brownstones lately? Oh well, I'm sure it's just a marketing ploy. I guess I'll have to get used to it.

I usually think of this when I think of brownstones:

These are a welcome addition to that empty lot no doubt and aesthetically look nice, but to refer to them as "brownstones" is kind of like Dominos referring to their pizza as artisanal.

How amazing would it be if these were walkups with garden level apartments? These help provide "affordable" housing to a neighborhood. We can't do that here though because we need each unit to have a 2 car garage.
