You are correct, look from google earth and you will see how close CYV and Patio villa are. My particular villas has 88 units. If they had straight driveways and yard on both sides of house the figure would be cut nearly in half. At least in CYV you have privacy walls. IMO they made the drive ways too curvy and garage’s too small. But the sold so doing something right?
