New Dollarton is a modified version of the River Delta map. This is a map based on New York city including New Jersey, Brooklyn, The Bronx and various surrounding cities and landscapes.
Pennyville's smaller neighbouring town backstory by Heru:
Pennyville started off as a small hamlet in the early 1800s. Before the American Revolution, it only consisted of a few fishing huts.
While places like New Dollarton and Dimesburg underwent massive changes during the Industrial revolution, the quaint town of Pennyville retained it's rural charm. But as traffic on the river grew, so did unwanted guests and migrants.
During the prohibition era, Pennyville became a hotspot for gambling and alcohol. A house of cards that came crashing down during the Great Depression.
even the Great Deal wasn't enough to dredge up what's left of Pennyville. It was abandonned altogether, Left to sink into the bay. Hopefully drowning the ghosts along with it.

Having an old 70's style strip mall lined with parking between the warf and residential in green crest would be cool. I'm imagining classic arcades, roller rinks, drive thrus, etc.

[@christopherclement2474]

This map is honestly really phenomenal and I’ve been building on it for a few weeks. I’m on my second city (first one was kind of a prototype) and I can say this is hands down my favorite map (custom maps included). You really did a good job with this map and I’m excited to see how our cities differ with the different things we did but also the similarities they share

[@MrMolova]

I've said it so many times before but hell, that sim city 4 music just never gets old, does it?

[@boucletubage5916]

As one of the main streets of the area is called Florence boulevard, Maybe the Bayonne inspired area could be called Florence/ Florenceville?

What a great sign of an old neighborhood: someone's new modern vision interrupting someone's old vision of how the neighborhood should be designed. Happens all the time. Love it!

[@hellothere6023]

The Sheffield cross fits the actual city name. Sheffield was once also called ‘Steel City’ due to how large its steel manufacturing capacity was

[@_gbsanderson]

was so surprised to see my city get a mention!!

[@marcusbishop8936]

Love Sheffield crossing as a name. Has the bridge crossing the river as well so you could called that ‘Sheffield Bridge’ or something

[@coreybritton3477]

Green crest should be called “The Rocks”. A little throw back to early Sydney days

[@christopherclement2474]

I really recommend looking into the thunderstorm mods. There’s so many great ones that I haven’t really had problems with. They’re actually game changing and make it even more fun

[@grisvonlada68]

I think it would be very interesting if the long street that now ends in the old industry by the water (Moore street) extended over the river and curved back inland to create a reservoir/stormwater management lake. These are pretty common in industrial areas and would be very attractive to redevelop into a park in a nicer area later. -Grim

[@M.W.B.Official]

For the sleeper road you can stratch it far out in the bay so you can make a big harbor or tourist attraction

[@ajjivackovic1782]

You could name the new area something like Portsmouth, Watergate (lol), Seaview, Rivermouth, Firth, or maybe if you want that sense of history you could literally call it Oldport or maybe Altport beceause when you build another port you can call that one Newport. Great video as always 👍🏽

[@M.W.B.Official]

[@twodollarstwenty]

Tbh so am I

[@TheGMEER]

If and when you get to the equivalent of Manhattan (Yen-hattan?), it would be so cool to recognize the historical layout of the first Dutch and English cities. I think it would add a great sense of history, just my two cents!

Love your CS2 series!

[@constantinosbou]

Everything looks so brand new and clean, it really reaaaaaally takes away from realism :( I really wish that city was made in CS1.. that would definitely be hyper iconic.

[@heavyarms55]

I've gone back to CS1 for now. You can see it so much in so many people's CS2 videos. Even aside from the bugs, the game is very dull. Industrial, schooling, zoning, it all gets very repetitive very quickly. Too many things in CS2 just feel like a back step relative to CS1. Maybe in a few years, with mods and DLC updates, CS2 will be at least on par with CS1. But for the moment, CS2 has better roads and better mass transit line tools. But that's about it. And not even really better roads. It's just easier to place them.

[@TotoDG]

To be fair, I doubt any of us in the real world would be happy either if our rent shot up exponentially whenever a corner shop opens in our district. As if real estate weren't _already_ bad enough...

[@zacharyburr8942]

I love how a high rent home has only dogs in it.

[@justassadauskas]

I love your content and that you are still staying in cs2 and not riding the wave ❤

[@dereksmalls6238]

This game is inferior to CS1 in pretty much every way. Props to you 2$20 for keeping at it man.

[@herusolares5320]

11:10 Bayonet. As in, you know, the knifey bit on a musket? Also, the "Pennyville" backstory I wrote actually referred to a derelict ghost town along the bay. NOT the rural town that became the "true" Pennyville.

[@craigroaring]

I think it's good that they made the industrial buildings look whiter than other buildings. You can always spot the industrial areas on google earth because of the whiter colour. I guess it's because of the tin roofs and concrete.

[@snoozby]

Fantastic video mate! City looks great! have you thought about adding double blocks throughout the small housing neighbourhoods for variety? :P

[@twodollarstwenty]

Cheers! What do you mean by double blocks? I’m curious 😊

[@snoozby]

@@twodollarstwenty A double block of land. Twice the size of a normal block of land. From what I have seen usually you build your house, shed etc. on one half and leave the other half as grass with a tree or two, that way you can choose to subdivide them into two standard blocks and sell them separately.

[@samuelmanzolillo2757]

As someone who lives nearby, I can confirm it is pronounced "Bay-own" haha. SUPER industrial area, lots of oil refineries to be specific, and Port Newark is the largest port in the Northeast USA. I used to work over there. As a suggestion, you should take a look at Hoboken, NJ, next to Jersey City. Theirs a massive rail yard separating the two, which could be cool to try and replicate, and Hoboken is all classic row housing. I live there now, and they are starting to upgrade some buildings up-town to medium density residential. Its been very interesting to watch your build inspired by a place so close to home, keep up the good work!

[@twodollarstwenty]

Thanks dude I’ll take a gander

[@Jesus-ht4qf]

been waiting for this

[@DoubleH2279]

I’ve got an idea….I recommend building the rest of Springfield County

[@Carrot3734]

I think you should put a harbour or dock at the end of Moore st instead of the industry, and change the name to "Moor" because the ships used to dock and moor at the end of the street. Also fits that ships would dock there as its a protected harbour close to the sea port

[@MrNailz007]

Since Green Cerst is considered an old industrial area (wharf), I thought it would be funny to name it after Milburn Pennybags (The Monopoly Man). Perhaps Milburn was the owner of the industrial area and you can choose the name Milburn wharf. But you can also make a link with your own name "two dollars twenty" and "Pennybags". So maybe you can call Green Crest Pennybags wharf :D

[@suitableblox6664]

im excited to see the rail network get started. the whole jersey city-newark metropolis gets really cool when it comes to it. on another note, maybe call it the cointon river? also fyi- its . nj natives also call newark but

[@adamweinstein7059]

If your going for a historical name: Lewiston. Francis Lewis was a signer of the Declaration of Independence and served as the equivalent of secretary of the navy under the Articles of Confederation. Could be perfect for an old waterfront area.

The new development area would be a great spot for a university & old town neighbourhood

[@ZackDemarcoFeltz-qh7qu]

A name suggestion for the new development area could be Scarborough. Based off the Toronto neighbourhood/city that’s in a similar location.

[@benhoughton9028]

A name for the new area "Docklands"

[@True_NOON]

5:40 like its impossible to build oneself out of a policy failure to control rent , especially when theres high demand pushing offers and rent trough the roof 10:05 this is where CS2 couldve had stuff like rentcontrol policies cuz especially on multiunit buildings its really trickling down the cuts since the taxation is likelier on the landlord that then raises or partly lowers rents according to the tax , tho it is less clear when its SFH since that could genuienly be owned by the occupants [Greencrest] idk but maybe Northbay as a district name or smth

[@zottel4590]

I think Moore Street could’ve been a road connecting an early harbour to a village or town farther inland. These old paths often run along ridges to prevent steep climbs and such. That street kind of runs along a ridge as well. The city center of Green Crest could’ve formed at the crossroads of the Street leading into New Dimesburg and Moore Street, which could also explain the name “Green Crest” since that’s exactly what it would’ve been once. On the seaside end of Moore St there could either be an old building, maybe a wharf or arrival hall that’s been turned into a city administration building. Or a modern 1960s development to symbolise how the Industry around the harbour was built over when the port of New Dimesburg finally overtook the port of Green Crest in importance when ships got bigger and couldn’t navigate into the bay easily anymore. Moore Street should also be renamed into something like Dockland Street or after a persons name, to commemorate the founder of Green Crest.

Because you got offices got offices built in or industrial nearby to increase the land value what level complain about high rent in city planner players most recent video you sure you're mod to tackle this what actually comes in handy cos if you industrial offices increase the land value and make it on affordable I need to get a mod on the road make it easier😊😊😊😊
