One thing that may be impacting your perception is that spec homes are typically now built to maximize the available space on the lots. So, if a golf cart garage can be expanded to a 3rd car garage and/or the house can be stretched a couple of feet, they do it. My Veranda lot is several feet deeper than some others, and all Verandas are spec built, so my garage is extended forward a couple of feet and my lanai was expanded back a couple of feet, because there was extra room to do it. Doing this house after house, in some cases, will make them appear closer together. Why? Because expanding them makes them closer together. It's not the size of the lots, it's the size of the homes on the lots.
