The apartment block vs idyllic single family home and white picket fence reminded me of this city-builder game I played ages ago, Black & White 2 where you played as god and constructed a city for your little guys to live in and got good and evil points for your actions. Building multi-story apartment buildings in close proximity to other structures earned Evil Points and building spread-out suburbs where everyone had a lawn earned you Good Points. If you earned enough Evil Points your city would begin to look more and more hellish and dilapidated.
