Here is an older article that addresses the problem as well. This one is from the JRTC perspective. I love the quote at the beginning, which is from the fighting in Aachen in Sept 1944:
STREETFIGHTING: The Rifle Platoon in MOUT"(Streetfighting) is a bad misnomer, because the last place you see any sane man is in a street where every yard is usually covered by a well-sited machine gun. It should be called house-to-house fighting, which it literally is."
--Denis Johnston, BBC Correspondent, On the Front Lines, John Ellis, pg 90
