Really great work! All that's left is a day/night cycle, some underground infra views, and (obviously) a way to play the SimCity 3000 soundtrack over it

The key point here (and biggest advantage of Japanese cities) is that nearly every building is mixed-use by default, regardless of local density levels. This post does a great job illustrating the difference this makes: https://urbankchoze.blogspot.com/2014/04/japanese-zoning.htm...

For comparison, even our best-case scenarios for urbanism here in the states (like NYC) have incredibly convoluted zoning rules, which in turn make it impossible to build anything new without intervention from the city/state: https://zola.planninglabs.nyc/about#9.72/40.7125/-73.733

The least of its problems IMO, when the Cybertruck looks like it was designed to inflict maximum harm to pedestrians in a crash. The fact that such an obviously destructive design is legal on public roads should be setting off alarm bells at the USDOT and NHTSA.

What serious person is pitching LA -> DC as a city pair for HSR?

The best routes are the ones that replace short-haul flights that are currently really inconvenient in terms of driving and rail service. A route like New York to Toronto would make plenty of sense, where you have two major population centers that are very close together, but a huge headache to travel between by rail today (at 12+ hours total on Amtrak and Via Rail).

Seems like a decent attempt at satire, but I can't find the punchline

Maybe a Tidbyt? Looks like it works for a few US cities' transit systems. https://tidbyt.com/

I haven't used this personally, though, so can't really vouch for it yet

Just want to say a huge thanks to the dev(s) here, you've basically solved my major pain points with macOS window management (especially around apple's infuriatingly broken implementation of virtual desktops). This stuff has been gnawing away at my sanity for years
