I hate the fact many suburban planners forbid the construction of anything else and that people who live in cities often have to subsidize the roads and infrastructure required to support a suburban lifestyle. If you want to live in a single-family house in the middle of nowhere, have at it, as long as you pay the full price of your decision and do not seek to forbid people who want to build other styles of housing.simval84https://www.blogger.com/profile/10615053214354191224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153985804832811048.post-54311407100628964182021-06-22T18:06:11.786-04:002021-06-22T18:06:11.786-04:00I don’t understand the hate of ppl owing a house. ...I don’t understand the hate of ppl owing a house. Not everyone likes the “city life”. Not everyone is a social butterfly and maybe you ppl should consider respecting ppl if they want PRIVACY. Living in an apartment is not privacy because if you make noise, ppl who live next to you will file for noise complaint and you will get evicted.<br />Do you underhand? That’s why ppl want to own a house. Because of PRIVACY. Because they want to live far away from ppl. Can you respect that?<br /><br />I don’t understand why you city planners are trying to convince ppl that living in a city, renting an apartment is better than owning a house.<br /><br />There should be more affordable houses, there is a big demand for it because ppl make less incomes and you city planners are more interested in building more apartments that NO ONE ASK because “urban is better than sprawl”.<br /><br />Why is it such a big idea to force ppl to be social, maybe not everyone wants to be social. Can you respect that?<br /><br />If ppl don’t like to live in cities, can you respect that? It has nothing to do with “maybe that’s because the metro is bad”. <br /><br />If Tokyo is considered the best “urban” city, I would not live in it and I am not alone, I want to live as far away from ppl, away from cities, can you respect that?<br /><br />I don’t understand the hate of single family houses.NoOneCareshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17963105299542735078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153985804832811048.post-30254290287495252152015-03-23T17:51:23.348-04:002015-03-23T17:51:23.348-04:00You might be interested in the indie game Banished...You might be interested in the indie game Banished: it simulates growing a medieval-level group into towns and even cities (in scale if not in building style). The level of control is somewhere between The Sims and SimCity.Zephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10977471797021193972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153985804832811048.post-81214199499579926722015-03-18T13:14:07.503-04:002015-03-18T13:14:07.503-04:00I got my feet wet with the Super Nintendo version ...I got my feet wet with the Super Nintendo version too.

It's almost zen-like to make a city that works then look at the people going about their daily routine while demand for housing, shops and industries slowly increase, forcing you to expand the city somewhere.<br /><br />I've never really played SimCity much. I do remember the SNES version, but at the time, my main fun was loading a fully built city then unleashing Godzilla and tornadoes on the residents.simval84https://www.blogger.com/profile/10615053214354191224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4153985804832811048.post-14180007996255950592015-03-16T13:36:43.835-04:002015-03-16T13:36:43.835-04:00I'm still a big fan of SimCity 4 Deluxe/Rush H...I'm still a big fan of SimCity 4 Deluxe/Rush Hour, with the Network Addon Mod of course. How would you say this compares as far as the fun factor? SimCity has never been good for real life modeling on a large scale, but it seems like a good enough balance between fun gameplay, traffic modeling, and aesthetic/civic city building.
