This is so true. Where I grew up the roads are rarely exactly parallel, and the coastline is hard to replicate. There&#x27;s highways and flyovers that weren&#x27;t like the ones in the games.<p>When I came to the US, particularly the towns that aren&#x27;t by the coast, I thought SimCity! Apart from things being on a grid, there&#x27;s also quite a lot of repetitive architecture. Schools look similar, utilities look similar, neighbourhoods are filled with the same houses. And all the big box stores are exact copies.
