People think of a typical suburban SFH as the target because its also the most readily available and suitable housing the market for most of Ontario's population centres. At least in KW, there is a real lack of a middle option where shoebox in the sky condos and SFH don't have some good to great quality midpoint readily available for people to see as an alternative.
From my vantage point as a current newly growing family in (albeit century home) SFH that would absolutely love Dutch style neighbourhoods and a row/semi home with more communal space and less wasted frontage/yard that most new builds offer.
Townhouses are greatly under-utilized I feel. Ours has some communal yard and not much frontage and is more space efficient than bungalows for sure.
