I feel like the full-size two-lane roads go well past clever and into fetishizing suburbia. The roads and car ports take up a huge amount of precious space and force you to drive up and down 10 stories of ramp every time, instead of parking lower in the garage (possibly with reserved spaces, the place is expensive enough for that) and taking the elevator. I guess it's handy when moving in/out, but again, for the cost, they could provide workers with motorized carts to move your stuff for you. Just seems really impractical with no upside, all to make you feel like you're having an "authentic suburban experience" or something.
Especially note the way the road on the right side of the pic runs right up to the dropoff, well past the last carport entrance, with sidewalk and road markings all the way. They're selling the image of a chunk of suburbia sliced out and airlifted into the city.
