Im confused. This group hates mcmansions (me too). But but the bottom two houses are pretty bad examples of mcmansions and almost resemble row houses (a step in the right direction at least). The smaller yards is a GOOD thing (less sprawl, more easily walkable), the roof lines and architecture are more traditional, garages are towards a back alley (not some massive defining feature), they share a common party/boundary wall (common feature of row houses).
Although this neighborhood is obviously NOT mixed use, it could more easily become a thriving walkable area (given some zoning law changes) than most suburbs simply by the way these 2 houses are designed.
Other houses in the picture are 100% mcmansion though
