Yeah, totally want to take a trip to the market through that mess. No thanks, I’ll just die of plague before I can go to my local apothecary.

That guy has a little almost invisible walk path that connects to the main road up to his door.
If you mean the narrow house one on the farthest right.
If you mean the tiny one with a yellow roof. It looks to be served by a barely visible road that run behind several buildings.
I dunno how old medieval rural European towns were built. But they are famously known for their convoluted roads.
@WingbeatPony
I feel bad for that 1 lone dude that’s on the outskirts. I don’t even see a path that leads up to the house. Did he even have permission to build there? I think Equestria doesn’t have regulations regarding WHERE buildings go, but DOES have them on how buildings are built. Unless in the case of Starlight’s town, which had jigsaw housing. (Nobody really knew of it, so I don’t blame any regulators for not, well, regulating.)
WELL, HOLD ON, WAIT JUST A SECOND. Those large rooms without supports would raise LOTS of red flags. That’s not safe at all!
@Silent Wing
Ah, see, this is what happens when you build something without planning. Roads are formed from the dirt paths ponies walk to get around, houses are built near the road but aligned only to themselves, and the town grows less like a crystal and more like an ivy.
Now, sometimes real estate developers try to capture that organic essence, but they miss the practicality and ground-up manner in which it evolved, and wind up creating unconnected messes like this:
That’s quite a far cry from winding roads that get from A to B following the contours of the land, and weird little plots of land formed because they’re between these roads connecting points.
