This is a great idea, but it seems strange that industry gets the prime waterfront locations. Personally, I think it would be better for those areas to be low/medium density residential, and industry to be on the "mainland" on the bottom of the zones picture.

I love your implementation of artificial islands - it looks amazing in the region view.

@jim 546: I didn't originally plan on having industrial on the islands, but as I got further from the mainland, I found that industrial demand just kept skyrocketing and everything else stagnated despite placing huge industrial tracts on the mainland. The Crescent itself from tip-to-tip is 5 large city titles. I simply could not get Sims living on the outer tip to commute thru 3-5 cities to quench their thirst for industry. I've even fiddled with the traffic simulator. Additional suggestions would be much appreciated if possible.

@Benedict: Thanks:)

Beautiful region! looks realistic, keep up the good work

wow looks beautiful 11/10

Awesome job, it looks really nice, inspired now - will be interesting to see traffic maps, quite a complex traffic system you've got going there

Great work, I eagerly await more

Really nice looking city there, love cities like that.

Great job.. wow i loved this!

looking good!

I like the accuracy of the map and the buildings blend in with the real-life buildings. I give it tumbs up like... 12 stars out of 10.

LOL, keep up the good job!

Interesting islands. You make them yourself?

I think I should say, you do not need those powerlines connecting the islands. It would look a LOT better ( Bridges carry power FYI.)

Thanks all for the compliments

@_marsh_: I had actually just discovered that while working on the Waterfront and have adopted that method. I will be going back and removing older lines.
