4. The original houses were built in the 20s and 30s

the typical Philadelphia "row houses", with a front porch (some enclosed them to be "sun porches" ). My mom grew up in a house like that of the same era not long after the ones in her neighborhood were built (not in that West Philly neighborhood though). I expect the issue nowadays is gentrification because they are surely barreling through this city throwing up what are essentially the same style homes, but completely unaffordable to the people in the neighborhoods they are building them in.
