This was on a 16 acre site in the middle of Tempe (a city with over 25,000 acres, for reference). That is any given cluster of 10-50 houses in suburban areas. The USA has ~30 million acres of suburbs. While the design and execution of the project look great, the key is that it's legal. If building like this was legal, by right, in more places, then the market would naturally transition to something like this if people desire it. Right now, any deviation from zoning has to be fought for with time and money, and as a rule of thumb, everything that gets built will stay that way forever. If successful, desirable, small scale projects like this lead to zoning being loosened, then hopefully the existing urban layouts will no longer be stuck.
