The difference is that SimCity is a game, while real life city planning has material impacts on people’s lives and livelihoods. It shouldn’t be easy to demolish

The difference is that SimCity is a game, while real life city planning has material impacts on people’s lives and livelihoods. It shouldn’t be easy to demolish someone’s home or to establish a heavy industrial zone near a residential area just because the folks in charge feel like it. Conversely, if there’s an actually justifiable reason to seize property or rezone an area, that shouldn’t be impossible either
- solveit 4y agoI have a justifiable reason, you have a respectable argument, they just feel like it. What I'm saying, of course, is that you're obviously right but our problem isn't because anyone disagrees with your position, but because we can't agree on what constitutes a justifiable reason in individual cases.
