If the main goal is to limit sight lines, there are a lot of potential tessellations that will give that effect, while also being predictable and infinitely repeatable. For example, imagine a regular city grid, except every roads is a wavy S-curve.

I bet there is a special math term for "tilings that do/don't contains infinite lines", but I wasn't able to find it quickly. It's not the same as (a)periodic, since a periodic tiling could block the lines, and an aperiodic tiling could have one giant seam down the middle.
