It looks like the building version of those ai generators for motivational posters and romance novel titles. This generator has been fed with random assortments of shapes and textures.
I wouldn't call it a McMansion though. Much too expensive and idiosyncratic.

McMansion doesn't necessarily mean cookie-cutter design, it's more about vinyl siding, painted foam "stone", and mis-matched and poorly implemented design features, which this house has by the metric fucktonne.
I've lived in grid cities where it works and cities where it fails utterly and honestly it mostly comes down to zoning and traffic control. Very hard to tell just by looking.
That said, personally I like some variation in my city blocks and road angles, largely because I have no sense of direction.
I can keep a pretty good map in my head, I always know where things are relative to each other. But I tend to do local navigation, particularly of unfamiliar places, largely by landmarks and vectors, so I find having streets that all intersect at the same angle throws me off.
Especially if subways are involved, because I can't do north/south etc at all, so when I emerge into the daylight it takes me a bit to get my bearings.
edit: I will say that grid cities are fantastic as a tourist, because you can zigzag your way in the generally correct direction and you'll probably make it eventually.

are those wall mounted exterior floods on the hearth pointed at the floor?!
I'm pretty sure the folks at the county powerplant can tell when the owners get home by the sudden spike in draw on the grid...
And the builder probably cut corners like crazy so the insulation is probably crap too.

the asking price is the same as the asking price of a 3 bed 1 bath half of a duplex from the 60's in suburban Vancouver.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
The designer was bad and should feel bad.
it's just a shame that the use of Neo-Eclecticism in the McMansions soured the classic style on contemporary architects
and now for something completely different:

But that just blows it out of the water, holy shit
Probably can get around most of it by having a well maintained and properly designed subway system?
The question is if it'S also good urban planning besides making for a pretty arial view.
My thoughts exactly, I'm always sceptical of a grid pattern I gotta say - just cause its so different to home.

Someone can give me an address in Chicago, and a good 70% of the time I know how far away it is and how to get there

Even that is not too bad, its the 100% humidity that is really going to get you. Need a small solar powered dehumidifier.
