But I play games to escape reality.
Does this allow you to bulldoze poor/minority neighborhoods in order to build a new highway? If I’m gonna parking lot sim, I want to be able to fully RP as Robert Moses
Whenever you don’t have enough resources for something you just open the pause menu and threaten to quit the game.
I wonder if it has the feature of being able to introduce bad public transport options where you can stick a train station in the middle of some busy road lanes on each side, put Parkway on the end of the name and call it a day.
You have to walk through a parking lot to get to and from the car. The bigger the lot the more walkable the city. Checkmate.
Add golf carts to move to and from the parking lots.
Holy shit, you’ve just figured out how to add a whole nother layer to the personal transport equation. Mega parking structures as close to each destination as possible, but due to their size, they aren’t in walking distance, so build smaller parking lots for golf carts within walking distance.
Then you drive your unnecessarily large vehicle from your suburbanite home to the big parking lot, walk to your designated spot in the golf cart storage lot (or pay to take the elevator), then drive your cart to the office or store lot.
But why stop there? Maybe the oversized trucks and SUVs are too big to be stored in a normal consumer-level garage or driveway. Maybe we should do golf carts on that side, too.
And to fully close the loop, make golf carts and trucks/SUVs support driving right into the driver seat with a mobility scooter. And give the scooters seats that recline to a lying position, have built in toilets, and waterproofing so they can go in the shower, and we can eliminate the need for walking entirely. Think of how much easier life would be if we didn’t need legs!
Something something buy’n’large something.
I’ve seen 3 major highways built around Detroit while I’ve lived here. There was very little choice among normal citizens who live in the line of “progress”. 375 ruined some dynamic neighborhoods because those people lacked the power to force a change in the proposals. 696 spent significant additional money accommodating the citizens who had the power to modify the proposals. Highways make cities very unwalkable as well as taking space that could be better used
To be fair, no one wants to live next to a factory, so the highways become a necessity at some point.
@DeprecatedCompatV2 @graeghos_714 The assembly plants in Detroit look like train depots. That’s the most efficient way to move in materials and move out products. A multi-lane freeway is not necessary, a set of tracks can handle much higher volumes of goods and people.
The screenshot is fake. Everybody knows that massive parking lots are almost always nearly empty! /s

the link doesn’t seem to be working
I was on my phone so I decided to just assume that lemmy would auto link it for me, but it didn’t. So I’ve added it manually now for you.
It’s pretty rough around the edges but man, I love this visual style already. Color me interested!
If you’re talking about the visual style, it borrows pretty heavily from SimCity 2000 and Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. You might like those as well.
