The roundabout thing at the beginning of the video was so relatable. I live in Sweden with right hand side roads, and there HAS to be an architect that designed a roundabout in a city in Sweden. It IS going counterclockwise and there was traffic light from nowhere, so my mom accidentally drove onto the tramway and had to reverse the car to get out, and she drove against red light because she wasn't prepared for a traffic light in the roundabout (I laughed so hard!)

[@gregynutbutter]

I live in australia and haven't seen a roundabout like this but we also drive on the left my brain melted and I had to take a 5 minute break hahaha

If Matt was an architect, he wouldn't be worried about services. Matt just showcased a city with badly engineered services

Matt is such a good engineer, that even when he try's to be an architect the town still works. Kind of

"Architects don't like straight lines"... i mean have you heard of Mies van der Rohe, Gropius, Peter Zumthor, Frank Lloyd Wright and so on? As an architecture student in my master i really enjoy these videos, but a lot of the stuff Matt usually does in his normal videos is more "architecture" than any part of this video :D

[@rpgaholic8202]

I think he meant "useful straight lines", as those folks love pointless straight lines.

So the "High Rent" aspect doesnt mean that its desirable, well it does in a standard game, but in a game like you have created its not quite the same. Each style of home has a base amount of rent it costs, lets say $100/hr for the low density homes, you throw in the polluted air/water the water damage and everything else, you've created a situation where people were too unhealthy to work so they couldnt afford the $100/hr. So its not that the homes were desirable, its that they couldnt afford the base cost of the homes. As per the architect thing, architects, while they may not know how things work in real life, would actually have one of the most visually appealing cities ever, nevermind that it wouldnt have garbage service, or sewage services and that everything would be single family homes with low rise commercial buildings there would be zero cars parked on the road, but no parking areas either. What you did was channel your inner chaos demon and just called it an "architect"
