Like this place that has a 9000sf lot yet has no green space: https://www.rew.ca/properties/2009-p...ce-langford-bc

Other than that though you sure get a lot for the money compared to here.
That's because these new developments in Bear Mountain are built on steep and rocky terrain, that costs a fortune to blast, clear, and level. That pinehurst terrace house's backyard is effectively a 200m cliff face down to the highway. 9000sqft total, 2000sqft usable.
