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.

    You have to walk through a parking lot to get to and from the car. The bigger the lot the more walkable the city. Checkmate.

      Step 1: declare the whole city a car park.

      Step 2: declare all spots within a 5 mile radius disabled parking only.

      If you’re talking about the visual style, it borrows pretty heavily from SimCity 2000 and Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. You might like those as well.

    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

      To be fair, no one wants to live next to a factory, so the highways become a necessity at some point.

    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.

          I was on my phone so I decided to just assume that lemmy would auto link it for me, but it didn’t. So I’ve added it manually now for you.

      Cities Skylines will punish you pretty badly if you don’t have good public transportation and bicycle roads

        Maybe it’s changed since I played it, but I disagree with that statement. They punish you if you don’t have many public transport and bicycle roads. But they also railroad or force you to make bad cities with bad car-centric layouts.

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
