Listen, dude ...

I live in West Philly's University City and my neighborhood is frickin' gorgeous ...





A lot more beautiful than the pics of Brooklyn or Atlanta you posted.

When my New York relatives visit me they are blown away by The City Of Brotherly Love's historic charm, rich architecture and graceful character.

Bottom line: you don't know what you're talking about.

IMO the period when much of the city was built, late 19th and early 20th century was an era of bad taste. It isn't really about row houses as you can see by looking at Society Hill. Also in the Easrwick area near the airport there are modern row houses built in the '60's that are not unattractive.

Fine. We will agree to disagree. Off you go now!

Most homes in Philly are 100 years old. Imagine how ugly those Atlanta homes the OP posted will be in 100 years.

I like row houses. In the OP's second photo, each house has its own architectural touches. Also, there's a young tree in the pic.

I assume this is a joke.

That Atlanta one...not to my taste at all.

Many years ago, I moved to MN (I don't live there now), and while there were lots of lovely houses and neighborhoods, something just seemed to be missing.

One year, we flew into Lehigh for a weekend break in Nazareth. Picked up the car, started driving, and it dawned on me...overhead power lines! We didn't see a lot of those in MN because many of them are buried. But they were all over Bethlehem, Nazareth, Allentown. We loved it!
