I wish, it was possible to build a city that is not car-centric.
Roads and cars still form a core part of the game, it doesn't support pedestrian-only streets or bikes, but density is so much easier to achieve. That + the grid means cities don't end up looking "suburban" and "car-centric".
With cars, anyone can go anywhere without thinking much, although it is a bit of an overstatement considering the time I have spent fighting gridlocks.
It's like 10 years old, but kind of scratches that simple old lifestyle itch without any war or fighting elements
