Attached houses taking up part of the street. do they deserve the name row houses? Townhouses

And what about these longer blocks of attached homes?

https://maps.google.com/maps?q=brook...330.44,,0,2.03 (left ones mostly, but right ones look like row houses, too)

I assume the these should, but that won't make Brookline a "rowhouse city" under eschaton's definition as the town has only scattered blocks of them.

Brookline could be considered lower tier if the city has 3 attached, break in-between and three/four more in row on one block.

Isnt Brookline a Town?
but Most of Urban New England is tripple deckers, and duplexes, with small lots.

I'd call the first two rowhouses and the last one more townhouses because of the set back. Frankly, I would rather call most of Toronto's old housing stock attached houses, there isn't really the uniformity you find with most rowhouse/townhouse neighbourhoods.
