Good morning from Glacier Bay

So anyway, this is a big part of why, despite its flaws, I play cities skylines 2, not 1.

It was actually really pleasant to sit here and watch traffic go by for a few minutes while I set up that picture. I tried to record video, but my computer wasn't having it.

You may recall that I threatened you with maps earlier, and I was fully serious about that. Here's how you could get around.

For the curious, the photo above was taken from the red circle, facing south. This is the oldest part of the city

And with that, good night

It sounds like the way cims insist on walking really extreme distances might be a bug? It does seem like people will walk much too far. I had thought that maybe I had somehow discouraged car ownership? But without providing adequate alternatives? I'm _pretty_ sure that some cims will decide not to own a car if they don't have to.

But maybe it's not my fault? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well, it is now June of 2028 in Glacier Bay. I've spent most of my last several game sessions doing beautification around the city, so the map-visible changes are pretty small. But as part of that, I did fill in zoning in areas where I think the land values can now justify more extensive grading. It turns out that just letting the simulation run while you're planting trees is a great way to build up a budget surplus. Who knew!?

And, more substantially, I built a cargo port in the south east corner of the city! Very exciting stuff. I'll bombard you with pictures later, after work.

@jenniferplusplus just curious! When you do stuff like this do you start with a set amount of money or is it more of a sandbox?
@anderson_jon the game has an option for an infinite money sandbox, but I don't use it. I like the management sim aspect
