Who the fuck builds like that? What were they thinking?
Use the lots properly. Build terraced houses close to the sidewalk with little or no front yards. Front yards are useless anyways and by placing the houses like a sane person you get more privacy in the back yard and the street will look like a proper well-defined street, not a glorified campsite.
And for the love of God build more than one storey! People move there because they want a yard. These houses all take up twice the space they should because lazy PMC's doesn't like to climb stairs.
In my country we at least have local ordinances that sets a limit for how large a percentage of a lot you can build on and how close you can build to your neighbours. We have imported the idiotic trend of "brick trailerparks" with square lots with houses placed in the middle though.

All new suburbs in my area have houses occupying 95% of the lot and they're multi-story McMansions.

Single-story houses matter for people with impaired mobility though.
They do but i'll guarantee you that 95% of the people living in those houses have fully functional legs.
Apartments have ground floors
