The creators SimCity itself were aware of the problems you mention. Ever notice how there's no parking lots?

They were aware of the problem and they covered it up, rather than try to show better ways of living. It’s unintentional propaganda for the crappy ways we build our cities. It’s worse than if they’d just show things how they really are.
