Columbia City is an ongoing Cities: Skylines series where I am building my own metropolis set in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. In this series, I try to adhere to very strict standards of realism while still ensuring that the city expands into a large metropolitan region. With this focus on realism, I try to balance the antiquated car-centric postwar urban planning strategies which were unfortunately used by many American cities with newer, more forward-thinking strategies which focus on transit-oriented development, high density neighborhoods, walkability, and public transit access. I hope you follow along as we expand Columbia City and take inspiration from amazing cities like Seattle, Vancouver, and Portland!

In this video, we fill in a bunch of gaps in-between what we're calling Cayton Square and Old Town/Chinatown. And we have a crucial discussion about systemic racism against African-Americans. As an American, I can't ignore this issue. Please hear me out - or don't, and unsubscribe.
