One of these behemoths went up near me, after a nightmarish yuppie shopping center had already been established. (It's "walkable" but also "drivable" and doing either makes you feel like you're going to get aquatinted with the other against the will of all involved. But yay amenities?) The only way in or out is via one moderately trafficked road and one extremely congested highway. But hark! A train station! Within walking distance! Except the train station was built decades ago and only designed to be accessed from the other side of the tracks. It's all fenced off. The only way to get to the train station is by driving a quarter mile through the shopping center to the highway, getting on the highway for a quarter mile, going into the shopping center next door, and driving another quarter mile through that shopping center. Then you can park and wave at your neighbors. Theoretically you could walk or ride a bike... but there's no pedestrian lanes on or along that highway.
It's stunningly awful.
You know it was frustrating but not that bad until you got to the bit about the fence. FUCK that's just such poor planning.
