Does nobody value having a useable yard? Or will we start to normalize having a table and chairs in the front walk-up? Couldn't we have fit a garage and two-cars parked in front of every unit, and just soft-landscaped the back yard with some overflow visitor parking nestled somewhere like in the good old days?
I know you're going to say 'but there's a roof top patio'!
Yes, I've experienced having a dinner party in a place like this. Makes for a long walk to the kitchen, through the master bedroom... Don't forget your drink, or your love of being baked on a rooftop.
Edit, having looked at it, I suppose you could have turned these units 'backwards' and fenced off between the main road to make little cookie-cutter backyards.
