building a neighborhood
possibly
this is a waste of time
BUT
I find it
SATISFYING
the aesthetic is
unusual
it's a combination of
minimalist Japanese components
and eastern european modernist
not full on brutalist
the neighborhood is called
BITSY GARDENS
because it autogenerated something gardens
& I changed it to BITSY
I wanted to just have a couple of the japanese
house styles
because SOME of them
are VERY minimal
& really could be
ANYWHERE
BUT
I found that to be too hard to pull off
so some of them are a little more
SPECIFICALLY Japanese than
I had envisioned
there's VERY little GRASS, it's mostly sand
with giant ROCKS
LIKE
one big rock garden
with single family homes scattered through
the outer ring street of the neighborhood
is lined with mixed use retail/housing
small post office (basic)
small fire (Japan)
small police (Japan)
welfare office (Japan)
the middle has a small elementary (eastern euro)
a playground & a community pool
the next section down
has
apartments (Japan)
& a couple of high-rises (eastern euro)
& a tennis court that came in
RED CLAY
since everything was sand
there is extra land
NOT developed
just ROCKS
& sand
it's
VERY striking
LOOKING into the neighborhood from
the busy street
driving by
I'm pretty pleased
I only left grass
in the block
with the
elementary school
SOME of the yards have grass
MOST are that sand-y shade
I am going through
the different
VERSIONS
my town hall is eastern euro across from
the german train station
they don't match
BUT
they KINDA work together
north eastern US
ALSO
I ENJOY building
the environment
there's a TRANSIT center
& there is going to be a
SHOPPING district
there's a DECO department store
which employs eight hundred people
that's a signature building
from the german pack
it's gonna be the
center piece
I'm telling myself
this is going to
help me
MOVE
from talking about INTERNAL blah blah
it describing a thing I built in my HEAD
possibly I'm kidding myself
did I ever tell you about
the amusement
PARK
I mean that was LIKE fifteen years ago
the JUMP LIFT elevators
played Dan Bern songs
LOUDLY
I ENJOY to
BUILD worlds
MAYBE
I'm having trouble with
SOME aspect
of the Munchee
I WANT to tell you stories about THAT
