Starting a New City with NO PUBLIC TRANSIT (Cities Skylines)

[@tendergremlin]

Another day, another masterpiece, another lane, another expressway, another truck stop, another American dream fulfilled.

another lane

[@Fuskpreto]

you build and present a whole new city in 10min. Other youtubers would have taken 4-5 episodes of 30-40 min to show the same thing. I am loving it hahaha

[@CitiesByDiana]

Hahah thank you, I try 🥹

[@rsplines12]

Love it! Make sure you place plenty of billboards on the stroads to make sure drivers are distracted.

[@ChappoIan]

This might honestly be the most amazing Cities video I've ever seen. I love the satire. Geniusly done, seriously! Great job!

[@CitiesByDiana]

Thank you so much 😊

[@JCTheBeard]

Imagine my shock and surprise when I click on this video and see two Honokas walking on the street 🤣🤣 Love Live is eternal, it seems. Keep it up!

[@Liamshavingfun]

You had me at "Pesky Pedestrians" however I don't think no public transit will work in the long term you need some public transportation at least. As a truck driver I love the truck stop BTW.

[@PrimalTurkey]

Awesome storytelling, its something you don't see much and you do a great job at it ! Looking forwards to seeing how this turns out with no public transit. Keep up the great work 💪

[@Ilikefire2792]

I dont know whats funnier to learn about. That europe has better infustructure for its semi truck drivers than America has or that Americans would rather build trailers parks for cheaper residential development than literally build any sort of affordable mixed use development thats walkable at a cheaper cost.

[@CitiesByDiana]

😆

[@ma14.27]

Wow, AmEEriKAH! Really love the way you build those smaller cities, very entertaining.

[@speedbrake22]

I can hardly imagine the most time it must’ve taken to create this masterpiece. Thanks for sharing! Not sure if I’d like to live in a dystopian place like that though :)

[@Croesquared]

This is a really cool presentation style. I can only imagine how long it took to record, edit, and write this.

[@CitiesByDiana]

Thank you so much, it took me...awhile 🫠

[@TuomasLeone]

OMG, this is what I imagine a @NotJustBikes Cities video would be. Amazing, great job you really nailed it!

[@CitiesByDiana]

[@Qtopian]

Why does your suburban neighborhood look honestly the most realistic than any other city skylines youtuber 😮

[@CitiesByDiana]

I've spent a lot of time in Silicon Valley....it all looks just like this

[@BossMan-yu1og]

This was both impressive... and depressingly true. Well done!

[@stevekirkby6570]

What a beuutiful nightmare you have created; detailed in every way, capble of sending shivers down the spine of any forward looking person. Thanks for your great effort! :)

Thank you 😊

Remember to have a giant highway named for Robert Moses

[@conallplatts5244]

i mean, whilst as a brit i was cringing at all the pro car talk (i know youre joking, its a great bit, ngl) the truck stops sound nicer than anything we get over here. the best thing you get over here is a strip of tarmac off the side of the road, a burger van and maybe a toilet, but not always. 10/10 would visit. oh, and btw, that trailer park is probably what ill be living in if this economic situation gets worse, so ill take this one if need be

[@CitiesByDiana]

I unironically love truck stops to be honest. The rest was satire but that section was serious.

[@conallplatts5244]

How did north american city planners think like this and be like yes this is the best way to live

[@CitiesByDiana]

With lots of money from General Motors and Chevron that's how

[@colliefields4637]

Wait! Thats a prison?! I thought it was a typical american primary school!😋 And that lad in the orange "school uniform"... He looks.... Familiar somehow... Great video as always. I can't wait to see how the story progresses with this new city.

[@BetterCitiesYT]

What is funny, I downloaded this map off Steam a few days ago and I am trying to do an overlay of Colorado Springs.

[@CitiesByDiana]

Yesss! I love this map been wanting to use it for awhile now.

[@Shivseattle]

I am immediately building a prison in my current project, just so I can spawn that Cheeto in an orange jumpsuit...LOL

[@MicheBuilds]

Loved the 50s Americana style vibe the whole city has! And the line of Han Solos. 😁

[@milliedragon4418]

This is basically like every American suburb, I feel the pain

[@BlackwatchCrazySix]

Yup. This form of road hierarchy is too car-centric lmao, as it in itself kind of is. Then again, I adhere to it myself but putting my own spin to the layout to comolement with walkability/mixed-use or zoning for land use/effective public transit or walking paths. Land use plays a big part in C:S traffic more than most people realize. Think of it as a US-style city but with Europe-level transit and/or good walkability/land use.

[@nickfunkmaster]

This was so good! You must have hundreds of workshop items! haha Can I ask you a question? I added a bunch of props & vehicles from the workshop in the last month, and the game keeps bugging me that I have an outdated/incompatible mod. But my only 2 mods are ACME and Move It. Do workshop creations also trigger this warning, or is one of my 2 mods wrecking things? It would take forever to figure out which props or vehicles are the bad ones

[@CitiesByDiana]

I've noticed that the compatibility report is super unreliable, it tells me stuff should be unsubscribed that is confirmed to be good. As long as you don't have any issues it's safe to ignore it.

[@nickfunkmaster]

@@CitiesByDiana Oh really? Well that's good. I was shocked - I'm only using like 2 of the main mods! Thanks again for the help, Diana!!

[@SpudsCS]

No public transport and blocked off walkability you like to give your self a challenge, sure youll pull it off :)

[@CitiesByDiana]

Haha it's pretty easy or build a city without transit in this game but it was still fun

[@aj2587]

No public transit? What kind of Harry Potter magic is this?

[@R3dhawk95]

this is so accurate it hurts

[@JediTev]

So, i have a few questions, I see you used the Monterey map. Its a map of San Rafael turned upside down, did you put the Prison on the same spot San Quentin is? Lol And where did you get the Denny's? Looks awesome!

[@CitiesByDiana]

I absolutely did put the prison where I guessed San Quentin is, that was 100% intentional. As far as the Denny's goes, I got it on steam don't remember the exact name of the asset or who made it

[@RickMiMann415]

I am EXTREMELY NEW to this game. I just started my city and contaminated the water. People are sick. What can I do about the water? I installed more medical clinics. Thank you in advance.

[@CitiesByDiana]

Number one thing is to move any water sources like pumps or water towers away from sources of pollution like industrial zones, power plants, garbage, sewage etc. That will immediately fix the issue 😊

[@RickMiMann415]

@@CitiesByDiana Thank you so much. Even if the water source is upstream from the waste water. It is close though. Thank you again!

[@CitiesByDiana]

@@RickMiMann415 as long as it's not downstream of waste water and not near any other pollution sources it should be safe.

[@RickMiMann415]

@@CitiesByDiana Last question I promise. Can water and waste line's be connected? Thank you!!

[@CitiesByDiana]

@@RickMiMann415 yes! You should connect sewage and water together.

[@T.C.C.797]

That was quite interesting and kinda different take on the game 🎮 🤔

[@ajrichards1190]

The video reminds me of Arlington, TX. You need a car to get everywhere.

[@CitiesByDiana]

Tbh it was partially inspired by Arlington and partially inspired by Marin County in California both places with little to no public transit

[@unnamedaccount4586]

nah why does that look exactly like my city

[@Xucaboa]

🤔😳🫡

[@CitiesByDiana]

I promise you it's GANGSTER

[@Xucaboa]

Confirmed: this is GANGSTER. Honestly, this is a university-level introductory course to American infrastructure. As a USian living abroad, I now have a succinct video to show my europeeps what the hell I’m actually talking about. On a CS level: the build is a magnificent testimony to this prevalent suburban landscape. On a creator level: the cuts and narration were perfect. You’re a gem.

[@CitiesByDiana]

@@Xucaboa thank you, i'm glad you liked it. I tried my best 😅

[@MHMichaelHooper]

Its only a true American city if it has a bus network that has bustops to roads with no sidewalks, forcing you to jaywalk.

😭😭 and the bus comes once an hour but is always late
