Poll: How many people start a mass transit system at the begining of a city?
jspero replied to sean9721's topic in SC4 Showcase
I always start with a mass transit system. At a minimum I use buses. In the first year or two, they don't make much, but when a city gets to about 10,000, they make a LOT of money and are resposible for getting my cities into the black. If I plan a city to be densly populated or a suburb of a desnly populated city, I'll usually put in rail and/or el-rail in the beginning (depending on available money) so I can plan around them instead of cutting through developed areas later. I generally put rail in farm towns to connect them to the downtown areas (even if they are not used to get there, it adds realism). I have never had to use money cheats to do this and find that they at least break even after a short time. I don't think I have ever used subway or monorail, but my largest single city has only been about 300,000. Jay -
OK. I'll lay off the B-more bashing. Looking forward to more pics of your city. It looks like its getting off to a good start. Jay

Date: 2/2/2006 9:33:07 PM Author: brtim2 And yes, Baltimore is just like the city they show on The Wire and on Homicide. All of Baltimore is like that, do not let anything else full you. Full of drugs and heroin and crack babies. There are no good parts. Nothing. Do not let those lies about the Inner Harbor full you. It isn't what it is all cracked up to be. quote> You've got that right! Baltimore - The City That Reads (on a third grade level). The Inner Harbor area is great, but once you leave that area (by one block in most cases), it's a scum hole. I live northwest of B-more and work near D.C. I get in there all the time. Just about any place inside 695 is scary terriory, at least on the west and south sides. Up north isn't as bad around GBMC and St. Joe's, but that's not saying much. We make up for that with Reisterstown, though. Good luck getting that Dundalk feel, hon. You should get Simgoober's NIMBY lots and use them in abundance. I was able to get my first ever in-game riot after about 1 year when one of my new developments became overrun with these. I was pretty cool. Jay
