@brotherlylove718: Revealing Philadelphia’s alley streets built 4-6 feet wide in the 1700s-1800s with actual houses where people live and front doors opening onto spaces where two pedestrians must turn sideways to pass—developers maximized houses on minimum land by building rowhouses in alleys behind main street homes then calling the alleys streets, creating residential addresses where cars can’t fit and ambulances physically can’t reach. Elfreth’s Alley is America’s oldest residential street from 1702 where people pay premium prices for historic charm despite logistical nightmares.
