I would agree that a mish mashed approach to this can lead to some discontinuity in the nieghbourhood. Maybe that isn't necessarily a bad thing though.

I used to live in an infill home in an area where the homes were mostly 70-80 years older than mine. Obviously mine looked nothing like the original homes. But why should we expect them to?
I can appreciate having some standards in place as there are with new subdivisions, but what I would hate to see is a requirement that new homes be built to resemble the old, original ones. Old areas should be allowed to regenerate over time.
