Parking and Urban Highways have for sure been the most detrimental force in destroying this city. On the city website, there is a historic map viewer, which makes the destruction easy to see. Entire neighborhoods and city blocks, leveled for renewal. What is ironic especially, the fact that everyone who lives here complains how bad the roads and traffic are, but there doesn't seem to be any political will to rebuild public transportation. In order to make the downtown functional again, people have to be able to get to and from it without a car. There is absolutely enough population and demand for trains, but none are ever built. The buses here, at their best, come every half an hour. Hopefully in my lifetime, we see the return of the streetcar and the metro line. The city did recently release their preferred concept for the inner loop removal project, and is now accepting bids from engineering firms to do the work. It's a step in the right direction, but we have a long way to go. Great work on the expansion! I hope you're able to find the artist(s) to commission those buildings. There are some real stunners in this city. The bank building next to the Powers building is one of my favorites. The building that City Hall moved into was the old Federal Building before they built that new monstrosity on state street back in the 60's, so fortunately the move was a positive one, at least on the part of the city.
Folks need to dial back all the anti-car rhetoric. yes, the inner loop is useless, but 490 isn't. And maybe not everyone wants to get on board with the new 'green' future, and will keep pushing back. I don't know about you, but I don't like waiting for a bus or riding a bike in Rochester winters, cars are necessary, dude.
maybe there is a 'lack of political will' because many just plain do not want to use public transport, we do not like using collectivized transport and being packed in like that. sorry.... nope. can't sell me on it. what are you gonna do about that, huh?
Man I love Rochester, i've first felt in love with it after seing an old 1960's presentation: Rochester - a city of quality, after that i've had the opportunity to see it irl. And recently i've bought a pack of old postcards showing the Midtown Plaza Mall, man that mall was one of America's greatest.
That was some serious PO wizardry in this episode! And yes, the prop/tree features in IMT are just incredible. Great use of them for the construction area.
thumbnail looks great so far! ill come back and watch this. anyway just to let you know u uninstalled all my games for the time being and my discord because i needed to refocus my life away from gaming. so my san francisco project will be shelved probably past the point that it breaks due to mods and updates. also thats why i havent been in discord. anyway keep up the awesome work!
Live in Pittsburgh and love Buffalo! It would be great to see a future Buffalo build! I would love to see him detail the big old train station on the East Side that is crumbling. I would also love to see Allentown and Elmwood Village.
After watching your tutorial on PO I tried it just once and was very pleased to find myself being able to clone a building and slightly shape it. But in the end I find it quite hard selecting the right vertices... What you do here, really is next level. Your cities look ridiculously real! What a pleasure watching you build this.
As someone who has spent alot of time in downtown Roc, I can say you nailed may of the aspects of this city to a T. Amazing work. Inspiring me to tackle PO.
Great video as usual but I think o missed something last video you added the metropolitan aka the Chase tower aka the Lincoln tower which is the second tallest building in the city after the xerox tower now innovation square. I can't wait for you to get to Kodak tower and frontier field. Keep up the great work!!
I use Extended Manager Library so I don’t have to worry about the limits too much, other than the Node and Building limits. Here’s a link to that mod - steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2696146165&searchtext=extended+manager As far as PO memory limit, that is a good point and something I keep in mind! I don’t expect to use PO too extensively outside of Downtown the same way that I’m using it here. I’m hoping to strike a good balance of detail and performance as I expand the city. :)
As a Rochesterian and a Greece New, York Native you did make a mistake in the clip about the Old City Hall you should have labeled it the Gordon A. Howe Monroe County Office Building and old Rochester City Hall and by the way you can learn a bit about Greece Town Supervisor Gordon A. Howe (1934-1960) when my Video drops next tuesday the 14th ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tPaInO9v7Qc.html for the Greece Historical Society & Museum in Celebrating the Town's Bicetennial
Hey, I noticed you had the accurate colored RTS public transit buses. Where did you get those assets from? I live in Rochester, born and raised. I'm also a bus driver in Rochester and I would really love to have those bus assets. I've been playing City skylines since day one, and I own every DLC.
You even got the current construction on State Street which is the reason buses are now detouring on the interloop to get over to the transit center on St Paul and Clinton avenue.
The bus even says 8A Chili Center on it... So accurate. Unfortunately we change that route number last year to 18 Chili Center when we restructured all the routes.
Hello! Those were a special thank you item from Creator Blue Thunder. The model is currently on their patreon and due to that, I am not able to share it at the moment unfortunately
