I’ve been thinking the same because the original 2017 tax cuts were supposed to expire at the end of 2025 which I think they assumed would be the first year of a Democratic presidency after a second Trump term. That didn’t happen but they’re using the same playbook.

These sound like what we call stacked townhouses in Canada, especially in Ontario. Usually three and a half storey structures with the lower unit featuring a half-basement, but you can increasingly find four storey configurations. Underground parking more common with the four storey models.
