I agree, and these houses look way too small and overpriced for a comfortable family setting, but stating that identical homes packed next to each other is purely an American thing is disingenuous. It’s a byproduct of capitalism, which supersedes national borders
In Chicago there is one block just north of Wrigley Field that was a demo for a planned community decades ago. Each of the 10 or so connected houses on one side of the street are all different. The opposite side of the street is identical, but mirrored. That means the northernmost house on the west side of the street is identical to the southernmost house on the east side of the street. The effect is that it looks like a very unique and natural community in spite of being completely planned and regimented.
That’s a better approach I think. It’s economically viable to make similar houses, but aesthetically and psychologically pleasing for houses to be different and unique, even if it’s just a variation per house on a street and not every street itself
The houses in the middle across from each other would be the same house.
Those don't look as weird because they're connected. They look like a single building, which is okay to have a consistent style
It seems like a huge waste of vertical space. If they condensed all of that into a small 8-10 story building, they could create green spaces all around it for everyone to enjoy.
Lol, then there would be stairs. We're fat over here. We don't do stairs.
/s in tone, but seriously we don't do stairs.
I know.
