So what do you guys think about the whole Huck-a-Chuck thing?

Which city has the best architechural style?
Flann replied to crazyyaya's topic in Architecture & Urban Planning
No love for milwaukee? I think it's a really cool city. This is The Historic 3rd Ward, a bunch of old warehouses that have been converted to condos and businesses. It's also home to the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design (MIAD) [Please make sure your images are within the 800x600 pixel limit.] Marc -
Build lots of parks, trees and the advanced research center.

Why so difficult? EDIT: Now I see what you mean. People wont even use mine even if it is the only route to their jobs!

Did I make this multi-rhw correctly? I'd be bummed if it won't work.

Originally posted by: NYankees24 Wow, nice highways, simply awesome use of aesthetic charm, but in my cities, I like to link them up with a large railroading network, as highways are extremely expensive and for my largest city (Nueva Jersy City) cutting through and Urban area is not a very cost-effecient operation at this time. I continue to wonder where some of your guys get the idea to build such beautiful and efficnet highway transit systems!quote> Practice, patience. Just look at all the pros on here and you'll get a hang of it.

Ouch i had a huge reply and accidentally closed the window. Use your highways to direct traffic downtown. Connect your avenues and important roads to the highways. Use ground highways mostly, as these force people to get on the highway if you don't build every overpass for every road. Only use overpasses for important roads. force traffic to use the avenues. use a bus system. https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=1834 place these strategically to force traffic to use a different route or take the bus! Also create one way roads on sides of avenues to designate bus routes. https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=14766 use these road top bus stops in denser areas. Use them on every block! However, don't use them in areas where you have 1x1 or 1x2, 1x3 lots etc. as they will cause the homes to abandon. When i use rail, i usually make a double line straight through the map. It's like a rail highway. Then you create sub routes and extensions to connect various neighborhoods. Search the STEX for some stations that go right on the track, they are very useful. I usually place my industry along the highways connecting areas; also surrounding downtown near the highway ring road. I never place industry far from a highway. Use lots of bus stops here too, it will seriously help traffic. As far as parks go, i place them sporadically in my suburban areas, the more the better, but don't go overboard. For downtown, I usually have a couple multi-block parks, consisting of maybe 3 or 4 large park greens and various other small parks. Hold tight and I'll give some pictures.

I went to California and I loved SF. There is just so much to see and do. The architecture is great, the trolley is a nice charm. I loved all the distinct districts, like the Mission district, chinatown, the Haight, etc. Plus that beautiful bridge and bay.
