      How many houses are there in the city even? I'm assuming they're not talking about apartment units.

        They're probably row houses, which function like horizontally stacked apartments with shared walls but each one having its own numbered street address. Very popular with slumlords.

          Oh, the townhouses here are actually quite nice. Compact, but less so than an apartment, and you get a little yard.

            Yeah, they run the spectrum from project housing to luxury townhomes. It's just a more efficient way of packing single family homes into a given area than a regular detached house, but cheaper for urban developers to build than a high rise apartment building.

    the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

    They make old people who own their own homes miserable. A landlord just moved next door to my mom and is making her crazy. He wants to build a wall on her property so he can have an electric gate on his driveway and not sacrifice any land of his own. He wants her to trim her tree so no pine needles get on his property. He want her to go half on replacing a wooden fence with a brick wall on the property line. He bugs her about neighborhood hood cats setting off his motion light she has an indoor cat. 30 years with previous neighbors and not one issue.
