Exactly. I think this type of density will wreck havoc on actual liveability. Some of the top reasons to buy a sfh is for more space (for yourself and away from neighbours). But that will all disappear when these lots get split. Great if you have great neighbours, but we all know there will be that one neighbour that will ruin it for everyone. We need more planned developments around urban centres or major streets lined with commercial, not this unfettered development where each lot has 3-4 independent families living on it.
