Beautiful urban forest. I can't speak to the biodiversity of it but what a great balance of greenery and housing density.

Looks like there's still a lot of semi-manicured lawns under the trees, but it's still a massive improvement over suburban sprawl.

Around the building itself, it's all lawns indeed. But around the buildings in the background it's a lot less "well-kept" with a lot more shrubs on ground level.

Ok but imagine a freedomland version where the center has a combo KFC / Taco Bell, and the outside is surrounded by a 100 yard wide parking lot, which is also encased in stroads on all sides.
