I agree.

Yes, but most small streets and passages are not covered as well as enclosed on two sides. I think there's a difference, and I suspect that the rendering stretches the truth by misrepresenting how well lit the space is. My concern is that it's likely to become a dark hole that is unpleasant to hang out in, despite the happiness of the rendered people to do so in the marketing images.

Yes, but aside from interest, if the enclosed space is not well used and not well lit, it can be unsafe and unpleasant. I do not think the Rogers Glory Hole is well used or pleasant, but it does at least have the benefit of connecting to the former street grid there.
