    I thought it was relatively understood at this point that "towers in the park"-style neighborhoods like this were pretty bad urbanism? Like there's a lot of unnecessary extra walking built in here. These buildings also don't look particularly mixed-use, which implies to me that you have to travel for everything.

        10 minutes walk from any amenities they’d need

        The English warned me about 15 minutes cities, but this is even worse

      Unfortunately a great deal of China is still towers-in-a-park style urbanism, which isn't ideal, but as Dolphin explains it still works.

      I'm seeing roads in between the blocks and curbside drive ups. I'm willing to bet there's a rail pickup nearby.

      Are you just worried about the existence of trees?
