Removed Urban fabric section

I like the below section, but its totally unreferenced. I'm putting it here to make it easier to find references and be worked on a later date. Medvedenko 05:17, 17 July 2007 (UTC)

Most residential buildings in the city are two or three story rowhouses. Along with Boston, Massachusetts and Baltimore, Maryland, Philadelphia is noted for streets lined with this type of attached, single-family brick structure. In outer neighborhoods, rowhouses commonly have front porches, while in neighborhoods closer to Center City, they are more likely to meet the sidewalk with nothing more than a "stoop."

Another style common in Northeast Philadelphia is known as the airlite home. It is a later modification of the rowhouse where the rooms are configured differently so as to provide more light to the interior.

In the Far West, Northwest and Northeast sections of the city, twin homes (duplexes), detached homes, and even houses with garages are common.

Other than the few remaining public housing project towers scattered around the city, almost all of the city's high-rises are located in Center City.
