What on earth is this anyway? Some kind of planned community for hyper religious immigrants? That church is definitely new. Very bizarre.

The cathedral was built in the 80s. The surrounding farmland was sold to a developer more recently, who then marketed the new subdivision as a sort of faux-European village.
Not sure what exactly the demographics of residents are like, but I would imagine they're not much different from that of neighbouring subdivisions (ie. mostly Chinese & Middle-Eastern immigrants).
