Yeah, no, that's not how it works. Room has to be made for parking, putting trees so close to the buildings is a bad idea, cramming so many people together means there's going to be a greater abundance of pollution from trash being strewn about (especially since there's less ability and incentive for the residents to keep the area clean), and city planning isn't going to leave so much empty space there; it's just going to cram more buildings on that lot.
Regardless, Hollywood has always had this strange hatred of suburbs. They always portray it as some dystopia where everyone and everything is fake, willing to pull off some very creepy stuff to maintain the cleanliness of their neighborhoods, and/or are just hostile to outsiders. Likely all to do with the anti-white rhetoric they've been propagating for decades.

I wouldn't say always. Sitcom writers at least seemed to be ok with them for a while for a few decades.
