Hello I am new in town. Been playing sc4 rush hour for a while though... So anyways, last year I went to Tokyo Japan, and I must say, the skyline was pretty boring compaired to US cites such as Chicago and NYC, and I was suprized because their population far surpasses any US city! Skyline aside, the street life and architecture you can see from street-level is great looking, especially at night when the entire city lights up like a giant pulsating neon organism. The most neon i have seen in any city, except for maybe Las Vegas. I also was delighted to find a very affordable and convenient mass transit subway/train system, as I am from California, and we take the freeway EVERYWHERE. Tokyo reminds me of NYC in that anything is in walking distance, and if not, you can just hop on a train to get there. A pedestrian paradise... So anyways, I made this forum to ask you all what do you think of Tokyo? Here are some pics I took while from Tokyo Tower, (Tokyo's wanna be Eiffle Tower)

I used to live down there, and people refer to LA as basically just LA, and "The Southland" as the whole thing, from LA, OC and the inland empire region. I like it down there because it reminds me of being a kid I guess. Also some of the best lookin girls per capita. Especially along the coast.

How do you create major traffic jams like these?? The most traffic i have ever gotten on one freeway was 10,000. what is the best way to maximize the sim's freeway travel?

one good way to get a lot of high tech and less dirty is tax the heck out of dirty and manufacturing jobs; i like 20% for dirty and 15% for manufacturing, and only tax the High Tech 2 or 3 %. This also drives up the demand for comercial buildings, which look a whole lot better than dirty industry as well...
