Roads are the backbone of a city

One if the things I liked about city builders back in the day was the aspirational approach to city design, I could build a city entirely using wind energy decades before it became possible in real life. This assumptions is dissapointingly but understandably backwards looking.

That said the parking lot and road maintained stuff looks neat. I hope it setup such that busses and other public transit reduce the need for road maintenance and encouraging foot traffic in an area encourages commercial growth. If well designed I think it could actually be a pretty powerful teaching tool of modern urban planning concepts that still haven't reached the mainstream(death to Stroads!)

I think that overall the project is showing disappointingly little vision. City builders need to somehow move forward from the SC4 formula (or at least create a city that feels more alive like in that game, maybe bias because I was a kid but still, the music also extremely elevated it)
