I thought Alt Urbanism might enjoy this! A fun little tool which I mainly use to redesign annoying junctions that I’ve cycled through. It’s a really good demonstration of just how much space cars take up and how much better things could be if less roadspace was dedicated to cars.
@frankPodmore@slrpnk.net So: this is how stuff posted on Lemmy shows up here. Seems like comments don’t appear, only posts, which is fine!
@frankpodmore @frankPodmore comments should appear as well
That’s odd. I didn’t mean for this to be a Mastodon crossposting test, but it’s become one!
Very cool!
The one thing it seems to be lacking, unless I’m missing it, is a “cost” variable. Since what we’d like to see and what we can afford to build are often very different, it would be nice to have a cost variable to play with!
True! You could even have upfront cost vs. costs over time. Although if it’s too complicated, it’d turn into SimCity after a certain point.
I mean, I actually would be really into playing a sustainability focused simcity. Sounds so fun lol Maybe you start out with a modern city and have to work to revamp it into a sustainable city. Or as you build a city you have to manage cost, citizen satisfaction, and environmental effects.
