If the garage is used as internal space, then row houses are plenty high enough density. The occupant could have a much nicer back yard without the setback (front yards are car infrastructure), but the road is not too wide, just awful to be on.
If we assume 1.8-2.1 people per house, then these blocks are about and 300m^2 with about 100m^2 out the front in tye public spacs
e per house (property boundary to middle of road]. 5000 people per km^2 for the residential area, assume 50% as much commercial/parks elsewhere (~100m^2 per resident) and you’re at over 3000 people per km^2
This is in the ideal missing middle range if a little bit low, it’s just awful missing middle (that will probably also have its density ruined hy a sea of carparks in the commercial areas and a highway, but that’s a separate issue).
Those aren’t really “rowhouses” how I think of that term. They look quite wide, and have a fairly deep setback from the street. Additionally the street is very wide, and the development looks far too homogenous.
Oh these ain’t McMansions, they’re the “missing middle” it’s basically row houses but with car centric infrastructure
That doesn’t look like middle-density housing, it’s just slightly more dense low-density housing
