Same. Some of them would be fine if just built the other way around… but gotta squeeze as many as possible into a lot, sun direction be damned. The people who profit aren’t the ones who have to live with it 🙃
This was the 80’s in a new suburb - the relevant factors in siting the house was which way was facing the street. The main priority behing the design in general was many rooms you could pack in for the lowest cost possible. I don’t think we’ve improved a lot since then, but at least insulation has become standard, not an add on sold by a dodgy door to door salesman.
