   In this satirical city builder, your goal is to convert walkable cities into parking lots and use propaganda to convince everyone it's what they want. 😆

     @MichalBryxi@veganism.social Yup. Which is why Western cities genuinely are really boring. No opportunity for life to happen or culture to develop because everyone is alienated and everything is centered around automobiles. Nothing walkable, no corner stores or populated alleyways, no front-facing stores or cafes for trolleygoers to hop off to. Just roads. And parking. And cars. And more roads. And more parking. For more cars. @yogthos@mas.to

     @adiz @yogthos @MichalBryxi You should be in a place where there really does need to be more parking, "more walking and biking" is almost never better.

     @yogthos Fun fact about #SimCity design:

     > Our game was going to be really boring if it was proportional in terms of parking lots
