I think they underestimated how dramatic this community can be. Which is surprising considering the map size whining that happened.

What’s hilarious is conservatives absolutely hate Strongtowns too, and pretty much all their policy goals are the opposite of the goal of ST. Even though Chuck Morohn is deeply conservative, he can’t really face that truth.

Actually I think I’m the opposite. I hate encumbrance more when it’s massive. When I played survival mode in Fallout NV, I found it so much more fun to only pick up essential items. I would commonly pick up water bottles and food instead of valuable weapons or ammo. I was usually way under my low encumbrance because I had a mindset switch to only pick up stuff that will allow me to survive the desert.

Monopoly can actually be a pretty quick game if you play by the rules. Which literally nobody does.

If a trailer doesn’t have gameplay you can throw it straight in the garbage. Thanks.

The distinction between socialism and communism gets a little silly imo. Some people claim that communism is a stateless society, and that countries like the Soviet Union practiced socialism, which is just a stepping stone towards communism. You seem to be implying the opposite. Either way, there’s like a million different things you could call these ideologies (state-socialism, market socialism, democratic-socialism, communism, anarcho-communism, Stalinism, etc)

Ultimately, I just want workers to own the means of production in my city, whatever you want to call that.

All the problems we have in current cities are problems we choose to have.

“That is not how you make a city irl.”

Have you ever been to the US? Because unfortunately, it’s actually like that irl. It’s a large reason why our cities are completely broken.

Eh, there’s probably some easy workarounds to be “good enough”. Subsidized public housing (which I think will be in base game) to ensure zero homelessness, rent control measures, being able to tax the shit out of high income earners and provide subsidies to low income earners, and free/publicly funded public services like healthcare, education, transit (which should be in the base game) and I’ll be mostly happy.

Guillotine for billionaires would certainly be fun, but I’ll live without it. Having an economy 100% controlled by the state would be a bit too much micromanagement for me so I’m fine with business creation being driven by market needs.

Do… do you not understand that city design and political and economic ideology are inextricably linked?

I hope it isn’t locked into a liberalism ideology too much. If I want to make food and housing a human right, workers employed by the state, and/or democratically owned workplaces do I have the option for that?

My utopian city has no landlords or bourgeoisie and I hope I can make that happen.

Good point. Don’t get me wrong, I am definitely not in support of them getting a patent for it, and I’m against patents in general. I’m just saying I loved it more than I expected, and want to see it more.

I will say that map loading screen thing is obvious but I’ve never seen it before in a video game and it was a small detail I really loved.

It’s very poorly worded

Nimbys make the world a worse place

We set ours on a pedestal and give them a megaphone though.

What I’m hear from this is collective cultures help societies in ways that matter and individualistic cultures help societies that don’t.

And I don’t disagree. And before someone jumps in with an “innovation” argument, just know that most major innovation was done by public entities, with public research, funded by public taxes/grants.

There was a lot of good done this session in MN but yeah, we have a long way to go. That Nursing bill really stings.

So, two concerns with this.

1. Hasn’t it been shown the cameras actually increase accident rates? Basically it makes people drive less predictably, by slowly really quickly when they realize there’s a camera. I could be thinking of red light cameras, rather than speed cameras but I thought it was both.

2. I’m pretty sure they aren’t enforceable? If someone doesn’t want to pay one it’s super easy to get out of. Which ends up meaning that the people who need be held accountable, aren’t. And the people that are decent drivers, continue to be decent drivers.
