      There’s no reason cities have to be boring squares. And those shapes could preserve the most trees.

        There’s a reason houses aren’t shaped really oddly. Also a reason there’s more space between them.

          Compare the space between them to the space between the blocks that exist. There’s way more space.

          Also, do tell what the reason is besides it just being cheaper to build on empty land? If this isn’t meant to be a car centric neighbourhood, you really don’t need everything to be straight.
