My wife had some affinity, without having really looked closely, for that type of house and it's a good thing they generally were not in our price range (in part because we don't need that much house). But the idea can start to get tempting when you look at house after house of the older variety that doesn't that's short a bathroom, bedroom or whatever.
These days Minneapolis in the midst of re-doing it's long term master plan, which includes whether we should keep allowing those things to replace our existing housing stock - and sell at $500k plus - or whether we should also allow similar structures with 2-4 units in them. If there's going to be something bigger next to me, I'd prefer that it be able to accommodate multiple families, but there's a whole lot of "liberal" fear in opposition.
