This rings false. Townhomes are seen in large numbers in almost all suburbs and I don’t think they inspire the same NIMBY fury that apartments do.

- heavyset_go 3y agoIn my experience, they do, but they're marketed as luxury housing so the stigma isn't as apparent to your typical person who is sympathetic to NIMBYism.
- crooked-v 3y ago> large numbers Any "large" numbers you see are still decades behind the amount of construction needed to actually meet demand (https://www.fanniemae.com/research-and-insights/perspectives/us-housing-shortage https://www.fanniemae.com/research-and-insights/perspectives...).
- CapitalistCartr 3y agoHere in Florida they're not "seen in large numbers", they're dwarfed by the ordinary suburban single-family dwellings, both already built, and new developments going up like wildfire. Every other form of housing combined is dwarfed by them.
- closeparen 3y agoTownhomes are seen in large numbers in the form of townhome developments i.e. pave a parking lot off a major road and throw up several rows of townhomes in it. What is less often permitted is for an existing city grid to have a mix of single-family and townhomes, or for older single-family homes to be replaced by townhomes as an area becomes more in demand.
