@scribus How far do you have to travel? Maybe a motor scooter or a bike might serve you better.

@adiwan Like, just under four miles. And I do have a bike, I've just been waiting for the weather to get a little friendlier in the mornings.

@northernnarwhal I can't even find the time (or guts) to approach humans and make small talk! Dogs, though, I will always make time for.

@adiwan And I have to ride into the sunrise, so I need to time it such that I'm not blinded. #excuses :p
-
@scribus Let's hope that your bus driver doesn't have a problem with the rising sun blinding him.

@adiwan Yeah, I appreciate an orderly grid like city layout as much as the next guy, but I admit east / west streets are a challenge.
-
@scribus Honestly arranging streets diagonally would be better, as there's few moments where you can get blinded.

@nerthos I do not disagree. I understand some direct E/W will be necessary, but making almost half of all streets extra dangerous at the most traffic heavy times of day is just . . . dumb.

@scribus I'm on the other side of the spectrum. I rather prefer the "chaotic" way the cities are built here in Europe. Because every street is not straight there are a lot of shadows on the street that prevent being blinded by the sun, especially with 4-story buildings surrounding them. There is one long and fairly straight street that I seldomly use and it makes me aggressive. Firstly because of the huge amount of traffic lights and secondly I'm unwillingly focused on the way ahead and every stop feels like I'm making no progress at all.

@adiwan I'm with that 100%. And let me add, cities that look like they could have been build in Cities XL by someone with OCD make me feel like I'm going around in circles getting nowhere.

@critialcloudkicker A grid city in city building games is sadly the easiest to build, the only possible way, or the only best-looking one. I've seen a lot of City Skylines gameplay and you can curve the streets but the building space grid area around the streets and the buildings themselves don't allow for more varied looks and layouts.

@adiwan Nono, I am saying that I do not like cities that look like they were made in that game ( by someone with OCD ). I like the game, and I see the power of it, but it's still a game. If you take the same layouts and put them in real life... yeah... not a fan, feels too static and unalive.

@adiwan fully agreed. In this city because of designed in the grid style for the outer limits people drive too fast because apparently in a straightaway people judge they can slow down if need be quicker, which isn't really the case.
