Go buy some cupcakes. Then play "housing developer" with them.

I think you'll find there's no squeezing involved in stacking. There might be if you get rid of the "yards" and push them together, though.

You don't need to use cupcakes. I added that because I thought the experiment would be more fun.

A lot of folks who seek to minimise noise and even visibility of neighbors would consider subdivision side yards "squeezed" compared to rural single-family homes. The "squeezing" refers to the entire lot, not just the house.
