The lot fit 9 McMansions. They built 44 small homes for locals instead

[Wonder Why]

1. You mean you can't go from your house to your attached garage to get into your car, back out then drive away

without having to look at your neighbors? Horrors! Who wants to interact with neighbors that may not look like me? I might have to be friendly with them and allow my children to play with them and even have an outdoor BBQ with them! What will I do?

2. Shouldn't all be rental. Owners ought to be mixed in too.

In the Star Trek universe that's a typical first home for anyone who doesn't want to live in a 100% urban environment.

3. Note the simple roof design

Look around at McMansions and you will see very complex roof designs for no reason other than being complex.

These homes take advantage of standard panel sizes and a simple roof to significantly reduce the 'per sq ft' cost of construction.
