I wouldn't want to live in a house like that either, but I'm not certain I see anything wrong with it. It's just a lot more urban than what's traditionally been built around here. Think of the row houses in San Francisco or Georgetown. People are certainly paying a pretty penny for those and they're literally right next to each other. They're essentially a jumbo apartment. It's not my cup of tea but it's a fact of life for an area where land has become scarce and expensive. Corey
