When we were looking for a place near downtown in our city, I would have loved to have a condo in a building like this.

These European-style flats in what amounts to a 2-3 bedroom ranch design house on each floor is the way forward for both increasing density and for providing homes large enough for a family, home offices, and affordability.

With at least one floor owner occupied, they're good policy.
