private capitalist enclaves just have a bad vibe, also it's like a combo of all the bad/annoying parts of the collapsing west rolled into one - your landlord, HOA, your boss, all the same inscrutable entity, you can't advocate for yourself in the workplace without risking your housing, and you can't fight a shitty landlord or HOA ordinance without risking your job.

Also just further atomisation and alienation, people living at the remote megastore instead of leaving their street to go out for essentials.

Also now all your co-workers are your neighbors too.

Those are the things that come to mind.
