You're telling me none of those big houses (viewed in satellite and street view) are even Duplexes‽

The US has some ridiculously huge single-family houses. Five to ten times bigger than what's the norm here (Northern Europe).

I was referring to Vancouver, BC, Canada that the GP was sharing a purported zoning map of. Many US cities would at least allow duplexes in such zones I would think (my experience being from the NE US).
