Edit: of course this is satire. The power of the reading comprehension devil grows stronger every day 😢

This is ... imo, not satire.
It is simply an example of the opposite of a walkable neighborhood/community, literally framed at such an angle as to capture the ludicrousness of it.
It is an illustration of the absurdity of car-brained NA city design.
But it isn't exaggerated.
These kinds of developments, neighborhoods, are absolutely everywhere in the US, they are very common.
Even the use of 'walkable' may noy be satire: If there are sidewalks the whole way, well that would actually be uncommon, and many US policy makers and local city urban planners would actually, seriously, class this as walkable.
I am guessing folks from more civilized parts of the world are reading this as satire, because this seems unfathomably, beyond belief stupid.
... Welcome to America, we hate it here.
