I plaid a lot to SimCity when I was a kid but, having been raised in a European city, I always thought that my cities in the game could never look like a &quot;real&quot; city.<p>About 15 years after, I found myself in a plane about to land in LA for the first time, with my face pressed to the window and thinking to myself: &quot;LA is like the f<i></i>* SimCity!!&quot;
