Actually I do agree.
It's just that the very small terraces such as the ones in Walton where I grew up are too small you can walk in off the street, virtually stretch your arms and have the width of the front, and the backs are ugly and rat infested.

I agree that the large terraces are lovely and full of character.

Everton is a good example of an area that had its heart ripped out leaving a featureless nondescript area with a small population.
