dysfunctional cities that ignores nature
Uh, what ignores nature more than building a city in a straight fucking line cutting through the terrain like it's Minecraft.
e: oh, they pulled a sneaky, "travel end to end in 20 minutes," might make someone think "oh, you can get anywhere in 20 minutes" but that would have to be an express with no stops. So maybe add a stop in the middle then the express can get you within 26 miles of everywhere. Then take a slower line that can get you within 6 miles to anywhere so probably another 15 minutes. And then another 5 minutes to get within half a mile of anywhere and then another 10 minutes to walk. 50 minutes to anywhere doesn't sound as great, and to do it they're still building a hub and spoke model but flattened. It's almost as if it's designed so a good citizen with access to the trains can travel anywhere but a bad citizen whose access has been revoked is cut off from almost everywhere. In a hub and spoke if someone had to walk they could at least move in two dimensions and reach anywhere in a couple hours rather than a couple days.
Not to mention that a 500 meter tall 170 kilometer long mirrored finish is a bird murdering machine. What is with environmentalism and bird murder?
