Many of these triple-deckers are pretty great in the sense that they can house a lot of people - they are not so great in many other aspects.
The youngest triple decker in Worcester is ~100 years old and many of them catch on fire and burn really easily. Your mileage may vary depending on the landlord you get. One landlord I had owned 100+ properties in Worcester and barely had anyone working for him. He refused to hire more people, so many of the issues we brought up would not be addressed for a while. My current landlord is great and any issue we have gets addressed almost immediately.
Triple-deckers have a certain quirky charm to them. My current apartment has closets that are the right depth, but for some reason are super-wide. Many other triple-deckers have split the living room in half so that there can be a bedroom - this means that the door to the bedroom are sliding doors that you close.
I ctrl'ed F this page looking for just this. I loved Gunz, the different style's that existed were insane! K-Style was most prominent, but there were others like D-Style, Environment Style, and so on.
This is what I use and to be honest, I don't see any reason to use the windows version /at all/ for Emacs. WSL and VcXsrv requires minimal set up and works right away for me.
I used to have code in my config files to try and handle different paths, etc. when I was in windows vs linux and now I don't have to worry about that anymore.
I still struggle with thinking too "proceduraly" sometimes, but what really helps out with me is drawing / envisioning the sets of data as a series of circles and Venn diagrams.
It also helps to change the language you use in your inner monologue. Instead of thinking, "For each row in table A...", you should think, "For all the rows in table A that match on...".

That being said, the city is currently working on revitalizing triple-deckers: http://www.worcesterma.gov/announcements/city-announces-worc....
