Why do the roads SW of Cancun make such weird patterns. It’s almost like a ladder or just long roads to nowhere with single houses on either side. I have seen this in other central/south American countries as well. What political/legal/geographical/etc factors make it turn out like this?
I >>KNOW<< there is someone out there who can understand and explain this satisfactorily. I just need to find the right community, group, etc.
Boring straight lines; easiest (cheapest) way to add infrastructure (not just roads, think water, sewage etc as well)…it’s all over NA, so why not in a popular tourist destination. Perhaps to attract some foreign investment into housing?
It’s just far from finished. Wouldn’t be surprised if it was too expensive for locals already and not interesting enough for foreigners at whatever the price point is. So there you have whatever the municipality approved already, pushing to have an extended road built with few side roads, since it would be crazy inefficient to do few meters at a time, and once you have the main road, you can easily add onto it.
About the curved bit mentioned - likely gonna be more expensive housing where rich folks don’t have to look at the road/neighbours fence but instead their private little pond/lake. The name of the business next road over tells you all you need to know (“Villas Dubai” lmao)
