Why does Detroit have no row houses or brownstones?!

Also jtf1972.... ....again, I don't mean to go off topic, sorry everyone, but looking at this photo, I'll assume it's from the 20's......we clearly had the rug pulled from under us with the depression. Man....Windsor looks like a frickin' joke! HA!

By the looks of things, Detroit was doing everything right. Windsor seems pretty stangnant....did we want it that way? Maybe. We worked and played in your city back then, no need to go all crazy here. In Windsor, you might notice the diagonal line cutting across the city. That's the Essex Terminal Railway.....and the city limits. Actually......there's 3 diagonals, all are railways and the city is bordered by all of them. We didn't do much building past there untill after WW2. If you compare this with a google maps shot....we havn't done too much in the past near century, and that's not really a good thing.



I should note, that regarding the farmland...Essex county has traditionally been Ontario's agricultural heartland. We're not going to eat up topo much of it if we can help it.
