Why would someone want one of these ugly homes for $400k when for that price you can buy something much nicer?

Texas is McMansion country, and these seem to be a notable upgrade over those at least. Kind of a throw back to ranch or shotgun houses.
I'm usually neutral on suburban hellscape buyers, but it's getting ridiculous. It made more sense to me I guess when 1/4 acre lots were standard. But these...man. The houses appear to be just a few feet from each other, and the yards are utterly pointless.

I can't believe I find myself saying this, but it would have been much nicer to just build nice condos in the middle, and use the rest as shared greenspace.

Shared space sounds like communism. /s
