In city builder Car Park Capital, why walk when you can drive… and park.

    It’s pretty rough around the edges but man, I love this visual style already. Color me interested!

      If you’re talking about the visual style, it borrows pretty heavily from SimCity 2000 and Roller Coaster Tycoon 2. You might like those as well.

        Thanks a bunch for these recommendations. :-). I think SC2000 was my first real love. RCT a close second. I guess it’s just genetics 😂

    I’ve seen 3 major highways built around Detroit while I’ve lived here. There was very little choice among normal citizens who live in the line of “progress”. 375 ruined some dynamic neighborhoods because those people lacked the power to force a change in the proposals. 696 spent significant additional money accommodating the citizens who had the power to modify the proposals. Highways make cities very unwalkable as well as taking space that could be better used

      To be fair, no one wants to live next to a factory, so the highways become a necessity at some point.

          I was on my phone so I decided to just assume that lemmy would auto link it for me, but it didn’t. So I’ve added it manually now for you.

      Cities Skylines will punish you pretty badly if you don’t have good public transportation and bicycle roads

        Maybe it’s changed since I played it, but I disagree with that statement. They punish you if you don’t have many public transport and bicycle roads. But they also railroad or force you to make bad cities with bad car-centric layouts.

    Does this allow you to bulldoze poor/minority neighborhoods in order to build a new highway? If I’m gonna parking lot sim, I want to be able to fully RP as Robert Moses

      Whenever you don’t have enough resources for something you just open the pause menu and threaten to quit the game.

    The screenshot is fake. Everybody knows that massive parking lots are almost always nearly empty! /s

This community exists as a sister community/copycat community to the r/fuckcars subreddit.

This community exists for the following reasons:

  • to raise awareness around the dangers, inefficiencies and injustice that can come from car dependence.
  • to allow a place to discuss and promote more healthy transport methods and ways of living.

You can find the Matrix chat room for this community here.

Rules

  1. Be nice to each other. Being aggressive or inflammatory towards other users will get you banned. Name calling or obvious trolling falls under that. Hate cars, hate the system, but not people. While some drivers definitely deserve some hate, most of them didn’t choose car-centric life out of free will.

  2. No bigotry or hate. Racism, transphobia, misogyny, ableism, homophobia, chauvinism, fat-shaming, body-shaming, stigmatization of people experiencing homeless or substance users, etc. are not tolerated. Don’t use slurs. You can laugh at someone’s fragile masculinity without associating it with their body. The correlation between car-culture and body weight is not an excuse for fat-shaming.

  3. Stay on-topic. Submissions should be on-topic to the externalities of car culture in urban development and communities globally. Posting about alternatives to cars and car culture is fine. Don’t post literal car fucking.

  4. No traffic violence. Do not post depictions of traffic violence. NSFW or NSFL posts are not allowed. Gawking at crashes is not allowed. Be respectful to people who are a victim of traffic violence or otherwise traumatized by it. News articles about crashes and statistics about traffic violence are allowed. Glorifying traffic violence will get you banned.

  5. No reposts. Before sharing, check if your post isn’t a repost. Reposts that add something new are fine. Reposts that are sharing content from somewhere else are fine too.

  6. No misinformation. Masks and vaccines save lives during a pandemic, climate change is real and anthropogenic - and denial of these and other established facts will get you banned. False or highly speculative titles will get your post deleted.

  7. No harassment. Posts that (may) cause harassment, dogpiling or brigading, intentionally or not, will be removed. Please do not post screenshots containing uncensored usernames. Actual harassment, dogpiling or brigading is a bannable offence.

Please report posts and comments that violate our rules.
