@skylar @PraxisOfEvil @wgiwf Land use is grouped by purpose in Europe as well.
There's some very nice things that can never spring to life in the American suburb. I think you underestimate how good living could be. Not to say that the Europeans have it figured out right now, their nice stuff is centuries old at this point.
