Hmm...just because I feel data is important, I did some measurements:
The site the development is going on is about 1.85 acres by Google Earth measurements, including the space for the park, and includes 30 units.
In a similar 1.85 acre higher density duplex development, I counted 22 units, not including any park, but including the road.
In a similar 1.85 acre typical suburban density single detached development, I counted 13 homes.
So its 33% denser than a duplex development, and more than twice the density of a more suburban development, and includes a park.
These are rough estimates based on Google Earth polygons, but I'd say that's a fairly big increase in density.
I do agree however, that parking still consumes a substantial portion of the development, and I also have no comparison for bedrooms or square footage of the units.
