In city builder Car Park Capital, why walk when you can drive… and park.

    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

        Don’t forget about being able to build overpasses too low for buses to fit.

        I do like the thought of Moses rolling in his grave over the fact that they eventually started building lower buses.

          Imagine 30 years later when they eventually just build really long limousines to transport all the people. Also don’t forget to design the roads with smaller curve radii so only short cars can fit trough, thus eliminating the limousine problem

      Whenever you don’t have enough resources for something you just open the pause menu and threaten to quit the game.

        Nah, just issue bonds. Surely this suburban development pattern will be profitable enough to pay back your debts in a couple of decades

        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!

    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

    Guess what the last commune I lived in was going to become? So, I visited another one to maybe move into and asked around. They said it was also going to be turned into one.

    What’s so hilarious about it is that everyone says it in such a matter of fact way. Like: yes, my home and that of my friends will be destroyed, our social group will break apart, and our cultural events that see a lot of visitors will also be a goner. But ya, it’s gonna be a parking lot!

        Ya but how do you get to paradise without a place to park your car? Checkmate.

    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.
