>But what's with these stacked houses in everywhere?

Like a lot of things in Future, its basically a more elaborate, exaggerated version of something in JSR; Rokkaku Dai heights is basically a bigger version of the sloped roof and shanty town area of JSR.
In universe though, I think it's meant to imply the Rokkaku family basically built the area like Kowloon walled city; basically cheaply built housing meant to keep people inside and others out.
You also see this with the Fortified residential zone, which looks like a cage but is actually meant to be a housing complex as well. Basically implying Rokkaku's city planning is these massive hellscapes of cramped, tiny, drab housing meant to stuff people inside. Compare those areas where everything is made of housing and sewers, to Shibuya-cho's record stores, parks, and malls and Benten-cho's rollercoasters and nightlife, and its far more drab and depressing.
Also fun fact, the statue in Rokkaku Dai-Heights is the Gouji model from JSR. This might be a bit of a play on how the ending of JSR implies his son took over the business and the Gouji in JSRF is his son.
