What are the densities in new Australian suburbs like? These days in Ottawa, it seems like most houses are being put on 3500 square foot lots.
There is architectural variety in Ottawa. You just have to pay the premium to have an upscale builder do it for you.
I wonder how much of the difference is due to houses in Australia not needing to be built with Ottawa's harsh climate in mind. Do homes in Australia have central heating?
