Why not pave a paradise, then forget to put up a parking lot?

Is there a creature on Earth more misunderstood than the humble town planner? They work hard all day, toiling for hours in the fields, trying to find that idyllic spot out in the sticks to place their town’s fire station, and then they sit up all night stylus-tapping missiles into the face of hospital-munching giant apes. And for what?

After a few hours designing your dream town in Sim City, however, you’ll want to send your own town’s council a bouquet of flowers and a box of Sees candies. Because appeasing the whining inhabitants of your haphazardly designed city is next to impossible. But then, it’s not really about them, is it?

As anyone who’s spent quality time with Sim City can tell any of the seven people worldwide who haven’t, the joy in Sim City is by building up a thriving metropolis and then systematically tearing it down, either driving your subjects out with inhumane tax hikes or summoning a tornado to evict them forcefully - it’s your city, after all.
