Am I allowed to mention that city tile size is not a bug?

Designer blog of Stone Librande on the game - I remember this was the guy who narrated the gameplay video that got me hella excited. Sim City: An Interview with Stone Librande Edit: Updated with the original topic source

This is where I believe EA would be looking at for future product placement deals, being online et al - Adidas <local hero> Campaign etc.

I came here because I wanted to play and discuss the game, so I avoided /r/simcity and the official ea simcity forums. Did I make a mistake?

Air Pollution: Fixed more issues where cities that placed air polluting buildings received large amounts of air pollution from unknown sources. By far, the most important one to me - totally stopped playing the game because of this; otherwise I did pretty OK during launch day all the way until 2.0 Trees: Trees now last longer, but also do not eliminate as much ground pollution. Fair enough. Radiation: Radiation causes less ground pollution than previously. If it meant shorter periods of high radioactivity, then I disagree. Pripyat is still uninhabitable by people until now. Otherwise, Maxis should tweak the frequency of disasters or reduce the chances of a meltdown to a more realistic level. Transit: Streetcar stops can now be placed directly on standalone streetcar tracks, and passengers can walk along the tracks to them Awesome. Got tired of building high density avenues where they are not needed.

Will be taking a break until the pollution bug is fixed, which to me is by far the biggest game breaker bug of them all. Was doing 'fine' running 1.8 - built my cities patiently bit by bit up to 360K with some real world issues of traffic and crime (all of which were results of poor design), used some of the in-game workarounds and generally had a good time. Will keep the game and allow Maxis to improve it further - was never emotional about the whole thing, had other things to do while waiting for things to get fixed.
