I'm sorry. It was a misunderstanding. I thought you were saying a duplex is a row house. But I think he is right to question those as rowhomes. In Chicago, many of the homes are are so close to each other that may look like rowhomes from an angle. But there is space between the homes for people to walk through. I think only the Gold Coast is where you may see a large group of rowhomes. Some of them on the southside and hardly any of them on the westside.
No biggie. The ones I posted from Philly were true rowhomes (I know these neighborhoods). Can't speak for the Chicago photos.
These (http://img607.imageshack.us/img607/2915/img3517t.jpg - broken link), these, and these are not rowhouses.

I wouldn't consider those homes rowhouses either. To me, a rowhouse would need at least 3 adjoining homes, or, more preferably, a city block. Much like the duplex you provided a photo of, but with at least another unit attached to one of the sides.
almost all the south side of Chicago is a slum, which most of any rowhmes are not attractive due to the lack of care for 20+ years.
But the nice parts of town have Bungalos

Pullman definitely isn't a slum.
By that logic, Baltimore and Philly shouldn't be on this list either because a large percentage of their rowhouses are dilapidated.

You are entitled to your opinion. It does not mirror the definition of a rowhouse, however, particularly with regard to the configuration comprising an entire city block. That said, no photos I posted showed less than 5 attached homes within the scope of the picture.

What does being "decent" have to do with this thread?
Because quanitity is not the only important factor, quality matters.
