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.
