Honestly this doesn't sound terrible to me. The obvious issue is that the communists will try to turn it into a prison. But many of Europe's great cities have large sections with few cars, everyone just walks in the old town, like they did before combustion engines were invented.
Also having everything close by makes it easier to be close with your neighbors, which is something that the West, particularly America, has lost touch with. When I was a kid all the neighbors knew each other, even in the city. As I got older, we moved and it changed. At some point I was living in an apartment building surrounded by people I didn't know, separated by paper thin walls and I thought "this is fucking crazy, why am I here" so I moved to a smaller town.

Would you want that woman as your neighbor? She reminds me of the typical HOA president.
Now consider the rest of the people are probably the same...
