Even the AI understands you can't haul everything into a city via rail
In addition to the CVT debacle, Nissan will (or at least, used to) hand out car loans to anyone with a pulse and enough hand-eye coordination to sign X on the form. The Altima is to broke white women what the Dodge Charger is to 'lunchtime rowdies'.
They also have the "JDM" aura of exoticness around them still because Americans don't usually see them, similar to Cressidas and Skylines. Take away the mysticism and they really aren't thst special. I would argue one of the benefits of a side by side is they don't need to be 25 years old at least.
and even if you could, it'd still have to make the last step to its final destination by road - even if they're near railways, how many supermarkets, warehouses and factories have their own goods yards? (apart, that is, from enormous sites like Port Talbot Steelworks)
pretty sure the Romans never had bicycles of any kind, and they were largely non-existent in the coaching era (16th-early 19th century) too
Some factories have their own rail spurs, but a relatively small amount. I may have brought up the example of a rice mill before...the bulk rice is collected from the Arkansas/Louisiana farms and sent to Houston via rail, but the processed rice (bags of supermarket-ready rice, or rice destined for further processing) goes out via trucks.
That's how I play Cities Skylines. Everything is road-based, but each neighbourhood only connects to an underground highway network. Works great. Would that real life was that simple.
If they think parking lots take up a lot of space, wait until they see how much space a rail yard takes up.
That was sort of in the back of my head when they were talking about extra parking space only being needed during special events like black Friday but defending when a train wasn't always full loaded. The urbanist argued that "multiple train always takes up the same amount of space".
Weirdly enough this feels like an actual response a fuckcars member would reply with. I was thinking about what if you asked "how should I store my guns and equipment for hunting/fishing trips" and the response I imagine them replying with is basically that you shouldn't do those things in the first place.This troll was pretty funny, especially because OP fell for the bait:
What? You haven't heard of the Alameda-Weehawken burrito tunnel?
That used to be a thing back when mailing letters was common:
It was made obsolete by the car:

I've always wondered how ambulances and firetrucks would get around in their car free utopia. They can't exactly say they'll make them take the long way around the city, but even if they do there needs to be a road to the buildings somehow.
Oh yeah on what fucking roads you jackass? THERE ARE NO ROADS SINCE YOU SAID IT'S CAR FREE YOU FUCKING TOOL!
Bikes with water tanks, checkmate carbrain
Holy crap I've been looking for this for a while. I read it over a decade ago and thought it was a fever dream.
If that guy shows up to take me to the hospital he better be showing up looking like this or I know he's not serious
