The End...(?)

By f3cs,

Hello everyone! Maybe you're asking about the Bellingham Journal, and I feel like I owe an explanation about this long time without showing new city views. The laptop that I've been using for playing SimCity 4 had an electrical problem, and I can't turn it on anymore. I have a backup for a few months ago, but I'm having a challenging time at my university right now, studying Architecture and Urbanism. Maybe in January, I'll start a brand new city, including all the things that I already learned in the...

Hello, welcome to another entry from my CJ. Today I'm going to explain a little trick for adding some realism that I use in Bellingham, the Traffic Oriented Development, the SimCity 4 cousin of the Transit Oriented Development Spoiler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transit-oriented_development - Why the names are different? Because the concept is a little different. Mixed zone is the appropriate, not the mandatory to apply in this system; My system allow use of big avenues if they're the commanding...
