These townhomes would be good where all the single family homes are on the side streets. And get rid of the current sfh
If you go over land value maps, you'll notice that residential arterials are notably less valuable than commercial arterials, and that residential arterial land is much less valuable than land off the arterial, while commercial is much more. Zoning allowing up to mixed use with apartments would allow for a use which *benefits* from an arterial location, rather than being degraded by it, and still allow more housing.
