I think you’re correct. I think this was likely min/maxing on the designers part. Assuming there were open / and ‘green’ spaces inside or within, say, a cluster of these I’m sure it would be generally acceptable for most people. My fear with designs such as these is vertical creep. What is nice and functional at 2-3 stories becomes a dystopian concrete labyrinth quite rapidly.
