They're huddled so close together that they look like they were intentionally designed to avoid the townhouse classification. They would've appeared smarter as townhouse clusters with a common but larger green area.

What most object to in this urban area of Los Angeles is the lack of set-back from the lot edge which is involved in replacing a small home with a McMansion. In the hills and coastal areas it also includes the height which blocks views.

Of course in many areas the zoning laws would prohibit this. But unfortunately Los Angeles has traditionally had just slightly stronger city planning than urban disasters like Houston and Dallas.
