General Township Updates and Rumours

*blinks*...you're the one who raised two separate complaints about straight roads BOTH of which were created by cars.

Cars are not a "curse" in my mind, but it's interesting how you seem to feel they are a problem, but when confronted with that reality, you accuse me of hating cars.

As for community interactions, not really, cul-de-sacs are not inherently community oriented. They provide a place to gather that is free from noise, pollution, and danger of traffic.

There is no reason that requires a development pattern that creates car dependency. It only requires the courage to block cars using any other method than putting literal houses in the way of the cars.
