A real-world SimCity

If you're an architect or city planner, you might want to add an item to your standard checklist.

Simcity The town of Foster City in Silicon Valley didn't have much going for it in the first place. Residents despise the place for its persistent fog and wind, not to mention that it's right under the main approach route for San Francisco International Airport.

 

If that doesn't scare you enough, trying looking at the place on Microsoft's Live Local service and select the bird's eye view.

Any time that a map resembles a view from Sim City is a moment that you should start running for the emergency exit.

Can you tell the game from the place?
