The real trick is that everything doesn’t fit nicely in a nice neat little glove-fitty block irl, so mirror that.
Mixed zoning doesn’t necessarily mean you got office abutting residential abutting commercial abutting industrial.
Think of a suburb/city burb. Do you know any that have like 20 blocks of residential? None! Doesn’t exist! Maybe like 2-4 blocks max before you break up the neighborhoods with some commercial and light industry or some offices. Even residential neighborhoods have gas stations on the arterial roads connecting them.
So like, don’t look where the wind blows, where the fertile soil is, and say “okay that quadrant of the map is for all my industry.” You’ll get high resource costs due to traffic. Don’t make a mega commercial center, not even Broadway in nyc…
God dammit I havent played in like 2 months. Fine. I’ll make a new city.
