Isn't it cool how those rowhouses are nice and dense too, just like they're supposed to be?

Just alternate 1x1, 1x2 or 1x3 strips of medium and dense residential, and it will never develop into anything else but rowhouses...

This can also be done to make great cookie cutter single family house subdivisions (think of CA type density) by alternating light and medium density in a similar fashion, and depriving the neighborhood of water.

And it also makes for nice euro style blocks, where the rowhouses front the street all around a block, while the center becomes a large private common for everyone with a unit along the periphery.

And it also works well to make cool looking small town commercial corridors lined with rows of shops and office fronting the street on both sides. (I wish someone had a mod that would make a new road type to create a 2-wide tile allowing for a 2 lane road with angled street parking)
