Full story here w/ the great @AShendruk Should the new American Dream be a townhouse? In a lot of communities, townhouses are the most affordable option that can actually get built (there's still a lot of opposition to "high rises" in many parts of the US)

Had a blast working with @stevebrodner on this piece. A lot of research, a lot of data collection, and a fun challenge to take a traditionally print-focused style of illustration and figure out a way to make it work online! https://t.co/bgSbpr0igA
