Reminds me of this idiotic monstrosity at the edge of London:

The problem, IMO is not the location, but the failure to plan a community, there aren't even sidewalks...not only does this reinforce car dependency, it creates a safety issue, we've already seen one death on Highland Rd. as a direct result of the failure to have sidewalks, this just creates another 30 years of the same situation.
Basically, the city should actually plan communities including pedestrian, transit, etc. all present from day 1, they shouldn't be allowed to build a housing (of any type), without the right infra.
