- gbraad 6y agoLOL, was wondering why it had such an unnatural grid layout... But this explains it!
- frogpelt 6y agoWhat would be a natural grid layout?

- chrisseaton 6y agoWhen I was small and played 'Sim City' I used to think it was really artificial and created very unnatural cities, then I visited the US for the first time and realised that no they really do have grid layouts with hundreds and hundreds of cross-roads with lights and really do have 'zones' like that and it's pretty accurate for the US!
