Rows of townhouses with parti walls can still have great natural light and ventilation if they are well considered and oriented. And on the topic of electric vs gas heating, electric is not "cheaper". It uses less energy, but the price (retail, before solar PV collection is considered) per unit is much higher. Add to this, the fact that we use brown coal for a lot of our electricity generation and it means that electric appliances are not as environmentally friendly currently, as the argument may have you believe. The carbon contribution of energy production is never considered in this equation (I have raised this in industry and was told "you can only consider so many parts before it gets too complicated" and basically told it doesn't matter for the purpose of the debate) We can take the energy efficiency debate any direction, but there will never be a perfect solution.
