Is this really that bad? The houses themselves shame most suburbia elsewhere in Canada, it just needs a little time to mature.
Most of our beloved old neighbourhoods looked like the one above at some point, they have time on their side is all. Come back to this subdivision in a few decades after the trees and have been planted and matured, so and so does a renovation, landscaping, whatever, they'll all end up with little quirks over time.
Obviously the biggest difference is there would be less amenities within walking distance but even still that subdivision is double sidewalked, looks like they're building some kind of tree lined neighbourhood path, it ain't that bad IMO.
