[quote=briansd1]I wished that we had neighborhoods of row houses with one-car garages in San Diego.[/quote]
We do – Mission Valley has lots of townhouse communities with garages. UTC has some. They call them townhouses – but they’re rowhouses… Just newer than the east coast stuff.

I think I’ve mentioned this before – my husband grew up in a 3 bedroom rowhouse with 4 brothers and a sister. (Yes, 6 boys shared a room!) It was about 1200sf total. They didn’t feel deprived – because everyone else in the neighborhood had similar sized families. (Good Catholic neighborhood in North East Philly.)
