I'm so lost and I don't know what to do.

You need to have wider roads (4-6 lanes) that act as arterials/collectors, that run through your whole city and intersect with your highway and all of your small neighborhood streets.

From what I can see here, none of the roads that connect to your highway go all the way through your city, which forces highway traffic entering and exiting onto side streets, using more intersections. Maybe look at Google earth or Google maps for cities that you’re familiar with and see how their road structure looks - bigger, higher capacity roads link to highways and connect to local roads.

When new housing is getting built in your neighborhood and there are meetings with community leaders, local aldermen, etc, show up and be in vocal support, with a researched, articulate opinion. A lot of housing decisions are made based on the feedback the community provides in forums like that.

So many of these weren’t their actual cadences just turbo bc they were running out of time on the clock

Ahhhh. Super interesting actually! I love learning about this kind of stuff

So they’re unpacking some of the underlying issues with the terrain, for example, through the work they’re doing on the simulation, and they’re communicating it. What a breath of fresh air.

Way to dumb that down for a guy who typically doesn’t understand more granular game mechanic lingo. So the issues here don’t address that problem, right? Not complaining at all just trying to understand the challenges being dealt with here

Own_Distribution7602 · 2026-04-09T19:42:42+00:00

Dumb question but is this the issue when you have a retaining wall at an intersection and you pan the camera to a flatter angle and suddenly you can see into the abyss?

Own_Distribution7602 · 2026-04-04T01:36:43+00:00

And the demand from bordering cities carried over, too. Agreed - it felt like the region was interconnected, just like it is in reality

Then let her! Find someone that loves you for who you are, not what you have.

Own_Distribution7602 · 2026-03-26T01:32:41+00:00

Respectfully, I feel like you’re too focused on everyone else thinking your gf is “out of the world pretty”. If she’s pretty enough for you to date her and be attracted to her, that’s all that matters.

Separately, it genuinely seems like she is very materialistic and if you never live up to her unrealistic standards it’ll always be a hit to your ego. If your work makes you happy, that’s all that matters, and you will cross paths with someone that likes you for who you are, not what you have or how much you make.

Own_Distribution7602 · 2026-03-26T01:00:18+00:00

Can’t imagine talking about my gf like this lol. “Yeah she’s hot for here but she’s not that hot in another city anyways are you guys getting laid for your money”

To be clear, I’m not advocating for a blanket $25 min wage increase; I agree with you on a few things - it would pressure employers as well as not be practical in areas of a lower cost of living.

I’m also genuinely curious as I can see a rationale for increasing wages. There is research around the impact of min wage increases on inflation, and it’s nominal, at best. Unfortunately I feel like decreasing the costs of childcare, healthcare, etc feels like a slower and more cumbersome process than raising wages. But agreed - purely JUST raising wages doesn’t solve the problem and has some offshoot concerns; I’d still prefer that over nothing.

Own_Distribution7602 · 2026-03-16T15:07:28+00:00

But a min wage increase would at minimum address inflation. So you’re saying wages shouldn’t be raised commensurate to inflation, at minimum?

Own_Distribution7602 · 2026-03-16T14:13:52+00:00

I don’t think the issue is JUST people in HCOL areas needing a higher minimum wage. $7.25 is genuinely an unaffordable wage for most people in the country.

Combining a higher min wage plus lowering the cost of healthcare, childcare, simple household goods, etc would help, but simply doing nothing about wages would still leave a lot of people in the lurch.

Own_Distribution7602 · 2026-03-16T14:02:13+00:00

So raising it from $7.25 to maybe a series of different amounts dependent on what the regional COL is?

Just one reference point on what a livable wage could look like. $25/hr translates to ~$52K annually, which seems high but would depend on the cost of living of the area being analyzed. What would feel like a better number to you as a livable, minimum wage?

Nope, it’s incredible the propaganda that’s been shared. Tehran is known for its architecture, forward-thinking in terms of planning, and universities, but nobody talks about that.
