I’d love to see a downtown sporting complex with NBA and MLB. Maybe soccer as well. With nice hotels and restaurants surrounding. Then it quickly deteriorates to abandoned buildings and a more run down neighborhood. Sacramento is dealing with this currently, as they gentrify downtown to attract wealthier residents, tourists, and businesses, but it is in contrast to the neglected parts of town as well. With this comes increased homelessness and a culture battle between the new wealthy residents and the lifelong, now displaced, residents.
I like to think that, along with New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles, Morgan was home to one of the first Pride Marches after the Stonewall Riots in 1970, and the pride flags around the city have been up ever since.
I think the backstory behind the neighborhood where the freeway runs through it could be that it was once a predominately Latino neighborhood (Mostly Mexican). It’s origins could be that during the Great Depression, Mexican migrant workers & their families went up to the town of Morgan to work in the town’s agriculture and forestry industry. And once the Bracero Program began in the ‘40s, more Mexican migrant workers came to the town. Economically, the community itself was poor to lower-middle class but still had a strong sense of pride, culture, and love. As Morgan grew in population post-WW2, so did the town’s Latino community. In the late 1940s and into the 1970s, the Latino community became quite politically active in local politics, mainly focusing on worker’s rights, immigrant rights, & education. This activism spiked sometime in the 50s when the freeway was constructed through the neighborhood. Destroying a number of homes, businesses, and parks. One of Morgan’s prominent Latino activists was named Inez Clemente (b.1917) who arrived to the town with her husband & twin boys in 1942 from Mexico. In her years as an activist, she bravely fought for housing, workers rights, immigrant rights, women’s rights, education, food security, etc. She first gained countywide & statewide attention in 1956 when her and several other activists protested the construction of the interstate, marching down Morgan’s main street & into the UC Cabrillo campus. In 1968, she successfully ran for Congress and served until 1984. After her passing in 2010, the city of Morgan honored her memory & legacy by renaming the street she raised her family on in her name. UC Cabrillo also honored her by renaming one of the academic buildings in her name. She still remains an important figure to this day when it comes to women’s rights & immigration. So yeah. That’s the little backstory I made up :)
if it makes sense for the scale of the city, i think it would be really cool to also have a community College, like Berkeley city college or any of the other east bay community colleges. even though they're not big 4-year universities they're still a really important part of education
i have an idea for the history of that main road with the flags. when built, it was called bow road, and a bit later on an amtrack station was built there called morgan bow road to avoid confusion with another amtrack station somewhere else in america called morgen. the pride protests took place on bow road, and was then unofficially named rainbow road. recently, the name was officially named rainbow road and all the pride flags were put up. the only remaining sign that it used to be called bow road is that the amtrack station is still called morgan bow road because amtrack really dont want the hassle of changing the name. the station signs have been vandalised to include morgan (rain)bow road and graffiti of pride flags have appeared. currrntly there have been protests to change the name, but not a lot has happened.
Guadalupe Street next to UT Austin sounds similar to Telegraph Road. In addition to being another hub for student activism in the 60's, the street was also important in the "Keep Austin Weird" movement in the 90's and early 2000's. The movement was intended to be push back on the creeping commercialization of Austin neighborhoods through supporting small businesses, especially the "weird" stores. I remember 10 years ago, you could find all sorts strange shops on Guadalupe like craft toy stores, hula-hoop shops, western ware thrift stores and of course the occasional sex toy shops. The back bone of the "Keep Austin Weird" movement were the live music venues which were the life blood of downtown's culture. I feel like San Francisco has had similar movements in the past so it could be something interesting to look into
@@PresCities i didnt even know it was there til a few years ago when i was an uber driver and had to pick up a passenger there and it was really hard to find.
This is exactly what I needed to wind down from work today so thank you so much for making this series, it’s the thing I look forward to most these days I especially felt warmth, comfort, joy, that kinda stuff when I saw you adorn the city for Pride, it just made me real happy
A nice trick I saw from "City Planner Plays" for building roads with height differences is having the topography view on while building roads. That way you can have realistic slopes for the roads without changing the environment too much, since this is how they build roads in real life too. They try to go with the elevation of the surrounding if it's not hurting the desired route.
Absolutely love how this is shaping up. The road-laying has been done so well in this series (but so has pretty much everything else). I really like the Amtrak station asset - haven’t seen it used yet. I would suggest a “Morgan, CA Amtrak” sign somewhere, and maybe making some better canopies for commuters. Even as-is, commuter heavy rail is such a beautiful thing.
self-sufficient college towns can either be great or terrible, take lacey, wa as an example of the terrible ones. st martins college is a religious university that lacey bases its whole identity off of and pretends to be its own thing but its really just a suburb of olympia
i toured st martins as a part of my college search since it was very close to home and something seemed strangely off about the surrounding area that i couldnt quite pinpoint, thats a great way to explain it- it almost felt culty
The mountains in Northern california had been since the 60s a refugee for self sustaining communities (hippies lol) and the growth of ilicit narcotics. It would be cool to have a small mountain village that pays homage to that.
It's wierd how young the us is. Here where i live in sweden you can bike to so 10s of runestones from the viking age in just a few minuets. There are not as much left from the nativies of the north amarican continent i feel like. It,s sad how thay have destroyed was was there before.
It's not limited to just the North Americas however. There are hundreds of years of history lost to expansion in Europe, South America, and Asia as well.
Yeah. Especially Southern California. Do some reading on the history of SoCal water politics and what the region looked like before aqueducts. It’s insane.
@@PresCities just an idea we have seen a lot of characteristic progressive neighborhoods which is normal for california but just wondering do you intended to have other areas with some other different political views?
I think with the backstory of being a rebellious and progressive campus UC Cabrillo should have a really successful and popular niche sports program rather than a big football or basketball program. Like maybe UC Cabrillo has a big like rugby or rowing program, something like that.
Summer of 2019, Cabrillo UCC campus has invited notorious provocateur Iarno Karkionalous to speak, in keeping with the campus's ideals of freedom of speech and challenging of ideas. A minor local debate 'group' which has for the last couple of years been quite controversial itself hosts the speaking gig, to the dismay of the greater student body. Unbeknownst to the UCC organising department, the speaker has organised a travelling 'activist' group to the campus to join him as he speaks. Upon their arrival, they seek immediate confrontation with protestors outside the speaking venue. The confrontation turns into a brawl, which turns into a police raid. The campus is left in tatters after the speaking event is cancelled and the confrontation will become the template for many more such events across campuses.
After the brawl the more conservative end of the Cabrillo city government tried to impose sanctions on the UCC and Morgan, while redirecting blame away from heavy-handed police interference and the activists that joined along with Mr Karkionalous. This, compounded by outrage over a not-guilty verdict involving Cabrillo PD officers and the death of an unarmed black teen sparked city wide protests.
love the progress on Morgan/UCC! as for the students' activism, a lot of topics familiar to Berkeley/the Bay would probably also fit well: BLM; affordable/accessible housing; green spaces/public spaces getting (re)investment. for housing, maybe something that shows a movement making progress in the early stages? one particular district, or a handful of blocks, where there are some active construction projects with infill apartments, or which introduce some limited, mixed uses, like corner stores for further-out residential streets/those away from Morgan's version of Telegraph? some of these could also be combined, like a public park with lots of kiosks, and lots of different uses: playgrounds, open space, shady tree groves, flower gardens, and especially some sort of plaza where people generators and sized-down signage could suggest a protest/demonstration? wherever this goes next, I look forward to it, Pres!
I think the story of Morgan should be something like this. Morgan was at first just a small town called Redwood Stump, and uncreative name for a town that lived off of the timber industry. The town started getting more developed over the years and becoming a small city by the 1860's. In the 1870's, Anthony J. Morgan, a nationally recognized university professor arrived and founded UC Cabrillo. He had very conservative views, and he showed that in his classes. When he died in 1878, the town in conmemoration changed its name to honor the professor. Fastforward many years to the 1950's. The town had kept many of the conservative principles the university had taught over the years, until the gay student of political sciences Jim Liu came to the university. The discrimination people from different race and sexuality faced in the campus angered him, to the point where he started a massive movement in the main road leading to the train station. They protested every day for many weeks until this protests finally caught the atention of bigger political figures such as the California Department of Education, who faced the issues concerned and started promoting a more inclusive campus in UC Cabrillo. This started influencing the whole town over the years, which similarly to the university, started becoming more artistic and inclusive. Finally, in 1979, as a symbol of modernity from the town, the mayor decided to put up raibow flags in the sidewalks of the main street, which he also renamed Liu Street, in honor of the student who started the manifestation.
I have an idea where there could be an intersection on the pride flag street where the names cross over to be ''stone avenue'' and ''Wall Street'' so it makes 'stonewall' as a tribute to the stonewall riots.
Have you seen the proposal to turn Shattuck/Adeline/Stanford into a giant Greenway ? It has a ton of extra right of way from a freight and streetcar line back in the day. That could be a really interesting street design build!
You could say that somewhere in Carrillo, is the site of an abandoned rail yard, like Taylor Yard in Los Angeles. It could be somewhere between Carrillo and Morgan, and beyond Morgan could be made into a rail trail. Seriously, the city of Carrillo HAS to have a rail trail some where.
This city is expanding so fast and looks cool, I am already exited for the next video! Marble Mountain is ending soon, Two Dollars Twenty said there will be around ten more episodes and some guest builds, it will be great if you could do a guest build on Marble Mountain bcz your building style is nice and unique, it will be great to see you build something in Marble Mountain you could also add more bike infrastructure to Marble Mountain or even build a town, idk just some ideas.
9:50 I think this makes perfects sense if it this bridge was the old main road before the interstate system, and that it has since seen some upgrades to allow it to service local traffic. Perhaps adding some evidence of its previous use would work well, like if after the bride the road takes an unruly detour and joins back onto the freeway with a diamond interchange, sort of where the old and new main road fractured. (Edit just realised that’s highway 101, still should apply though since that’s a freeway through major cities. Perhaps you could base the old main road to the current 101 through Eureka)
You should build an “Old cabrillo” like where i live in boston,maybe 30 miles south there is a place called plymouth plantation,where the pilgrims landed, Look it up and you will see what i mean the old houses. You could have a similar place with very old houses from the 16/1700s. Before cabrillo was established,there was a small seaside villiage. Overtime,City officials wanted to extend the city there. But residents said no because it was full of history. Lots of citys have this also. Would he nice to see that!! Great job with the city!
Burlington, Vermont is a great college town to take inspiration from. I immediately thought of it when you showed the house surrounded by commercial buildings, Burlington definitely gives off that kind of vibe. Also for something completely different check out the western end of Route I-189 for some abandoned highway infrastructure.
Pres, you are amazing, you are so creative and amazing. Your talent in making cities in a realistic, but moving way is so great! I am so exited for cabrilo union station for Amtrak. Keep up the amazing work! And even though I'm not part of the LGBT community it's great how you support it in your cities
I would really like to see a more run down/underserved neighborhood (AKA urban ghetto) modelled off of South Central LA or Oakland pre-gentrification, which is clearly poorer and more dangerous, and this would be a really great opportunity to discuss how and why communities become underserved, the history of redlining and just the immense importance/history that race has had on the development of American cities- this could be particularly interesting to non-American viewers. Plus I think most City-Builder Lets Players create sort of idealistic/utopic cities that don't consider the realities of American life, and it could be a really fascinating discussion to think on why poor people are so often forgotten or ignored by lets players and of course their governments.
A historic highway from the 1920's-30's that has been mostly forgotten when the interstate came in would be nice! You could put some old abandonned gas stations, diners, a junkyard and maybe an eerie small ghost town far towards the edge of the map. Some sections of it could be missing because they were reused for the interstate. Where major bridges, tunnels and bypasses were constructed along that route, it would be an even better touch to have overgrown gravel "wagon road" sections winding up and down the harsh relief representing what the route looked like in the late 19th century and early 20th. Hope I'm being clear. Here's a video for inspiration in case I'm not => ruclips.net/video/gZU7Mnx-I3g/видео.html
This reminds me alot of what happened to route 66. It was once THE road from east to west and had alot of historically significant places built along the route. But then more modern routes were built through it which bassicaly killed it
If you haven’t read suburban nation before (coauthored by Speck) i would recommend it as well. I believe that’s where they came up with the term urban triage. Also, I’m not sure if there’s a big difference, but I never saw urban triage as a reframing of the traditional road hierarchy but as a way of determining where to spend the most public investment. Like a street could be the most unwalkable street ever, but if it connects two highly walkable areas, then it would be a high priority in the triage.
Yeah, I read that awhile back. I know my portrayal of it as a reframing of road hierarchy is more of a secondary interpretation - I should have also been more clear about its primary definition when I mentioned it.
What’s you’re game plan when beginning a real city? Do you start from scratch and focus on building the city road by road, and add everything else as you go based on the RICO? Or do you just plop everything and focus more on the layout and details?? Another great video!
Is there a mod that you use to zone specific housing? For example, I might want to zone only a few houses that fit my city, but I don't want any of the vanilla housing to spawn with the zoning.
Hi, Im new to cities skylines and i was wondering, when building the avenue, you were able to select the individual building? I know that they are not included in vanilla, so are these some kind of unique buildings that come with the DLC or ist there a way to built individual buildings without zoning? Hope someone sees this since the video is so old haha
I think it could be funny if you have like one block on the border with UC Cabrillo be in a constant state of protest wars. Basically the one block would be an isolated pocket of very right wing republicans. Whereas UC Cabrillo and the surrounding blocks would be full on radical socialists. Despite that the neighborhood is nice and the business owners in the area use the protests as potential business and they purposely take no sides in the protests that last for the entirety of pride month. So in short basically it'd be a whole bunch of left leaning people with pride stuff on one side a whole bunch of right wing people with don't tread on me and confederate flags on another and all the business owners on both sides are colluding to try and get as much business out of the protests as possible.
I ride through Point Richmond on the way across the bridge all the time and it’s on my list of stuff to build! Not exactly sure where I want to put it though.
More seriously, I don't really like the iron fence surrounding UC Cabrillo. It's a very realistic thing to have exist and I see why it's there, but it's a very imposing and mean-looking barrier between the campus and the people of the city.
Hey press i love this series! I am always interessted in social housing (projects) is that a thing in calafornia? If so planning on doing something like that? I also love that you tell about the history of urban planning in the us. I know a lot about Dutch planning and history and some European things but not us so i learn a lot thanks!
Pres, do you know the reason why cars aren't parking in the parking lots I make using 'Parking Lot roads' and basically anything likethat but the cars park on the roads. Please let me know it will be very helpful.
@@johnv3788 Thanks for the reply! I actually have the realisitc parking option enabled in TMPE and the streets are almost filled with parked cars but, the cars still don't park on the parking lot roads parking spots. And when I click on the parking lot roads parking spots it shows that they are not on, Once again thanks for the reply its appreciated, and let me know if there is some way to solve the problem.
You should build a little area in the mountains that just has a ton of churches from all diff religions. And its should be like UP in the mountains not very developed. Everything hasent been changed, a few cemeteries and like 4-5 diff small houses. Should feel like u in a seattle forest. No roads eathier should have a gravel walking path that leads u up the mountain to a common area thats in the middle of everything were everyone comes to eat and just mingle after services
If you plan on doing a Latino community in the city, I would like to suggest that you make that community Brazilian so it could be more differenciated from other Latin American communities
AGREED!!! Some of the best nature in the world, but the city planners decide to use Urban Sprawl. Bunch of nonsense imo. I wish city planners became more artistic. Would make the world a much better place intrinsically
@@haidphone11 however a good percentage after what happened with the Rust Belt had to prioritise urban sprawl as it was more efficient. So yes, there are a few gems, however we are generalising mainly I believe
The road going up from the river to the campus (the one lined by pride flags) could be named Harvey Milk Street. My friend and I are both gay and feel that since he was the first openly gay elected official in the US and was in California, it would be fitting.
Are there really that many pride flags, like irl? I'm not from American but I have been there a couple times and I have never seen that many flags anywhere. I went to Stanford once and there wasn't really any flags at all (of any sort). Even in the google street views I do not see that many flags, and when there are, there is more varaity with the designs. Or is it just some seasonal thing? Or from specific neighborhoods? I really don't know.
It’s pride month in June, and this place also has a history where it makes sense. But no, you’re not gonna see tons of these in suburban Orange County or anything
Does telegraph Ave have hobby shops? Not cool 'till I can sit & buy model ships, tanks, trucks, planes, and trains. Also that shore line route is owned by Union Pacific, Amtrak only owns 150 (give or take) miles of track which are in New England. And there are historically routes that exceed 6.00% grades, one such example is in Hill City, South Dakota (I recommend a trip, very nice, and so are the folks who work there). Also, I removed Pride Month, and Valentines day, where's the Sabaton fans to get the reference? I disagree with being trans or bi or even gay (current definition, not happy), I might just be that I write my calendar differently, in fact, December does not exist on my calendar, nor does Christmas (December 25). My Christmas is in April, and my December is called Hibernation. Just to be a jerk about it to my family on FB, I blast pictures of Bismarck the week of Valentines day. Still trying to finish my calendar...need more ships, and historic (by my definition) events, (example is D-day or 6-6-1944), shoot my days are named after luxury passenger trains, (actual days represented, Empire Builder (Monday), Broadway Limited (Tuesday), Daylight (Wednesday), Sunset Limited (Thursday), Super Chief (Friday), Chessie (Saturday), and Hiawatha (Sunday).
For timeframe 6:33: Maybe UC was a makeshift stateside base for WW2 , being a makeshift armory, training ground, and POW camp, and before proceeding to the Bikini Atoll, KMS/USS Prinz Eugen would have been sailed up the river for students to see, while UC was transitioning back from army base to campus, with some pictures of the ship residing in 5 locations around the the region (Cabrillo City Hall, UC Center of Arts, the piers (mural), and Cabrillo City Library), with essays, and such playing into the naval history & importance of Cabrillo. Maybe even the regions more popular radio station is Radio Eugen(?) Shoot, I'd even make that station a logo (give me a few weeks), any chance to add history of Prinz Eugen, the better.
Cabrillo is making my week twice a week
I don’t know why but Carrillo feels so real, like it could be a real city. And then I go and build my city and it trash.

He should use the PNC Park asset to create a stadium like Oracle Park in San Francisco. He would just have to make it larger using PO
Good idea. Soccer should for sure be there.

love the progress on Morgan/UCC!
as for the students' activism, a lot of topics familiar to Berkeley/the Bay would probably also fit well: BLM; affordable/accessible housing; green spaces/public spaces getting (re)investment.
for housing, maybe something that shows a movement making progress in the early stages? one particular district, or a handful of blocks, where there are some active construction projects with infill apartments, or which introduce some limited, mixed uses, like corner stores for further-out residential streets/those away from Morgan's version of Telegraph?
some of these could also be combined, like a public park with lots of kiosks, and lots of different uses: playgrounds, open space, shady tree groves, flower gardens, and especially some sort of plaza where people generators and sized-down signage could suggest a protest/demonstration?

Finally, in 1979, as a symbol of modernity from the town, the mayor decided to put up raibow flags in the sidewalks of the main street, which he also renamed Liu Street, in honor of the student who started the manifestation.
Thanks for this suggestion!
I have an idea where there could be an intersection on the pride flag street where the names cross over to be ''stone avenue'' and ''Wall Street'' so it makes 'stonewall' as a tribute to the stonewall riots.
Love the pride flags and backstory 🏳️🌈😁
Nice episode as always! And also … finally … mentioning this book. I read it sooooo fast, even as a historian and musician myself
Yeah I read Walkable City in like 4 or 5 days I think
Have you seen the proposal to turn Shattuck/Adeline/Stanford into a giant Greenway ? It has a ton of extra right of way from a freight and streetcar line back in the day. That could be a really interesting street design build!
No, please send!!
You could say that somewhere in Carrillo, is the site of an abandoned rail yard, like Taylor Yard in Los Angeles. It could be somewhere between Carrillo and Morgan, and beyond Morgan could be made into a rail trail.
Seriously, the city of Carrillo HAS to have a rail trail some where.
Cabrillo
This city is expanding so fast and looks cool, I am already exited for the next video! Marble Mountain is ending soon, Two Dollars Twenty said there will be around ten more episodes and some guest builds, it will be great if you could do a guest build on Marble Mountain bcz your building style is nice and unique, it will be great to see you build something in Marble Mountain you could also add more bike infrastructure to Marble Mountain or even build a town, idk just some ideas.
Loving this episode.
What would be awesome are some bird assets. Ya know, those electric scooters.
Fun fact Green Day’s song Stewart and the Avenue… the Avenue is Telegraph Avenue.
This is pretty far in the future, but a small logging town would be very cool
9:50 I think this makes perfects sense if it this bridge was the old main road before the interstate system, and that it has since seen some upgrades to allow it to service local traffic. Perhaps adding some evidence of its previous use would work well, like if after the bride the road takes an unruly detour and joins back onto the freeway with a diamond interchange, sort of where the old and new main road fractured.
(Edit just realised that’s highway 101, still should apply though since that’s a freeway through major cities. Perhaps you could base the old main road to the current 101 through Eureka)
You should build an “Old cabrillo” like where i live in boston,maybe 30 miles south there is a place called plymouth plantation,where the pilgrims landed, Look it up and you will see what i mean the old houses. You could have a similar place with very old houses from the 16/1700s. Before cabrillo was established,there was a small seaside villiage. Overtime,City officials wanted to extend the city there. But residents said no because it was full of history. Lots of citys have this also. Would he nice to see that!! Great job with the city!
I dont think plymouth is the actual buildings but a replica,still would be cool!
Will probably build a presidio that fills this role!
that sound cool! You should add reenactments also ty for responding
Burlington, Vermont is a great college town to take inspiration from. I immediately thought of it when you showed the house surrounded by commercial buildings, Burlington definitely gives off that kind of vibe. Also for something completely different check out the western end of Route I-189 for some abandoned highway infrastructure.
That music reminds me of Columbia City
love all the pride stuff ❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Pres, you are amazing, you are so creative and amazing. Your talent in making cities in a realistic, but moving way is so great! I am so exited for cabrilo union station for Amtrak. Keep up the amazing work! And even though I'm not part of the LGBT community it's great how you support it in your cities
I wanna try to make something like this so bad… I wish I could get all the mods functional and actually knew all the techniques though
I would really like to see a more run down/underserved neighborhood (AKA urban ghetto) modelled off of South Central LA or Oakland pre-gentrification, which is clearly poorer and more dangerous, and this would be a really great opportunity to discuss how and why communities become underserved, the history of redlining and just the immense importance/history that race has had on the development of American cities- this could be particularly interesting to non-American viewers. Plus I think most City-Builder Lets Players create sort of idealistic/utopic cities that don't consider the realities of American life, and it could be a really fascinating discussion to think on why poor people are so often forgotten or ignored by lets players and of course their governments.
A historic highway from the 1920's-30's that has been mostly forgotten when the interstate came in would be nice! You could put some old abandonned gas stations, diners, a junkyard and maybe an eerie small ghost town far towards the edge of the map. Some sections of it could be missing because they were reused for the interstate.
Where major bridges, tunnels and bypasses were constructed along that route, it would be an even better touch to have overgrown gravel "wagon road" sections winding up and down the harsh relief representing what the route looked like in the late 19th century and early 20th.
Hope I'm being clear. Here's a video for inspiration in case I'm not => ruclips.net/video/gZU7Mnx-I3g/видео.html
Interesting idea!
This reminds me alot of what happened to route 66. It was once THE road from east to west and had alot of historically significant places built along the route. But then more modern routes were built through it which bassicaly killed it
Do you plan on making a racetrack? Maybe something like Sonoma Raceway?
the street at the beginning with all the trees looks so much like church street in burlington vermont!!! especially with all the pride flags!!
良い動画ありがとうございました。初心者なので、勉強させてもらいます！
You should build the Cabrillo highway sometime. Which is the coastal highway in California.
Oh that urban triage thing with the streets sounds a lot like the street hierarchy they have in the Netherlands
Yeah, totally!
Did I see overhead signs for freeways?
Whoever made those pride flags are absolutely AWSOME!.
is a lake Tahoe kind of place in the books? maybe? or national park
You should really watch: Not Just Bike. He talkes alot about streets and walkebility
If you haven’t read suburban nation before (coauthored by Speck) i would recommend it as well. I believe that’s where they came up with the term urban triage.
Also, I’m not sure if there’s a big difference, but I never saw urban triage as a reframing of the traditional road hierarchy but as a way of determining where to spend the most public investment. Like a street could be the most unwalkable street ever, but if it connects two highly walkable areas, then it would be a high priority in the triage.
Yeah, I read that awhile back. I know my portrayal of it as a reframing of road hierarchy is more of a secondary interpretation - I should have also been more clear about its primary definition when I mentioned it.
What’s you’re game plan when beginning a real city? Do you start from scratch and focus on building the city road by road, and add everything else as you go based on the RICO? Or do you just plop everything and focus more on the layout and details?? Another great video!
I wish we could build cities like this on the console version.
Is there a mod that you use to zone specific housing? For example, I might want to zone only a few houses that fit my city, but I don't want any of the vanilla housing to spawn with the zoning.
I believe you can use theme manager to selectively choose your assets instead of whatever pops up when zoning
@@anthonyimes4446 Thank you
you should make some low income neighborhoods in Cabrillo and Morgan
#Q&A how are you a lemon to place buildings without zoning them?
Hi, Im new to cities skylines and i was wondering, when building the avenue, you were able to select the individual building? I know that they are not included in vanilla, so are these some kind of unique buildings that come with the DLC or ist there a way to built individual buildings without zoning? Hope someone sees this since the video is so old haha
I think it could be funny if you have like one block on the border with UC Cabrillo be in a constant state of protest wars. Basically the one block would be an isolated pocket of very right wing republicans. Whereas UC Cabrillo and the surrounding blocks would be full on radical socialists. Despite that the neighborhood is nice and the business owners in the area use the protests as potential business and they purposely take no sides in the protests that last for the entirety of pride month.
So in short basically it'd be a whole bunch of left leaning people with pride stuff on one side a whole bunch of right wing people with don't tread on me and confederate flags on another and all the business owners on both sides are colluding to try and get as much business out of the protests as possible.
In that small little area across the highway bridge, you should build Point Richmond. Please tell me you know about it!
I ride through Point Richmond on the way across the bridge all the time and it’s on my list of stuff to build! Not exactly sure where I want to put it though.
This episode was godly
OMG CAR CRASH 13:08
Nice
Pride flags everywhere!
dude u should add a smoke shop
More seriously, I don't really like the iron fence surrounding UC Cabrillo. It's a very realistic thing to have exist and I see why it's there, but it's a very imposing and mean-looking barrier between the campus and the people of the city.
Might have to find a different gate
Hey press i love this series! I am always interessted in social housing (projects) is that a thing in calafornia? If so planning on doing something like that?
I also love that you tell about the history of urban planning in the us. I know a lot about Dutch planning and history and some European things but not us so i learn a lot thanks!
I gotta get these mods and a PC. Playing on the Xbox is causing me to miss stuff
Pres, do you know the reason why cars aren't parking in the parking lots I make using 'Parking Lot roads' and basically anything likethat but the cars park on the roads. Please let me know it will be very helpful.
If you have TMPE there is an option in there to use parking lots (can't remember exactly) but I think it is on the second tab.
@@johnv3788 Thanks for the reply! I actually have the realisitc parking option enabled in TMPE and the streets are almost filled with parked cars but, the cars still don't park on the parking lot roads parking spots. And when I click on the parking lot roads parking spots it shows that they are not on, Once again thanks for the reply its appreciated, and let me know if there is some way to solve the problem.
Hi Pres! Why don't you use planter for trees anymore?
Takes too much time vs what you get from it
can you fill in all the empty space in down town and across the river
Yes, soon!
You should build a little area in the mountains that just has a ton of churches from all diff religions. And its should be like UP in the mountains not very developed. Everything hasent been changed, a few cemeteries and like 4-5 diff small houses. Should feel like u in a seattle forest. No roads eathier should have a gravel walking path that leads u up the mountain to a common area thats in the middle of everything were everyone comes to eat and just mingle after services
Did you see the working drawbridge on the workshop?
Yeah, waiting for a rail one though
@@PresCities me as well I noticed it doesn’t like ferry lines
Are there gonna be wetlands/salt marshes like at the tips of the North/South Bay?
I’m going to try, but it’s super super hard to build those in game. Any ideas for how?
You should build a police academy😀👍
If you plan on doing a Latino community in the city, I would like to suggest that you make that community Brazilian so it could be more differenciated from other Latin American communities
I dislike USA’s cities, but still enjoy watching these builds!
AGREED!!! Some of the best nature in the world, but the city planners decide to use Urban Sprawl. Bunch of nonsense imo. I wish city planners became more artistic. Would make the world a much better place intrinsically
a lot of the northeastern U.S. cities resemble older cities and have good infrastructure, so don't hate on every U.S. city
@@haidphone11 however a good percentage after what happened with the Rust Belt had to prioritise urban sprawl as it was more efficient. So yes, there are a few gems, however we are generalising mainly I believe
Even though it's terrible, I find the history of sprawl to be fascinating. All of the politics and culture that enabled it, specifically.
@@PresCities make dat oracle park baseball stadium
Thanks for the inclusion of trans flags! 💙
Now I know they exist, I'll search them out!
they’re in the prop collection in the description
@@PresCities thanks, Pres!
cool❤
Please please please place a Morgantown prt kinda thing for connection in the town to different campus buildings around it.
Oh god no aaahh
@@PresCities I understand it’s work but it would be really cool, you have to admit
The road going up from the river to the campus (the one lined by pride flags) could be named Harvey Milk Street. My friend and I are both gay and feel that since he was the first openly gay elected official in the US and was in California, it would be fitting.
What’s the name of the author you mentioned when you were talking about walkable cities? I couldn’t hear it
Jeff Speck
I should start putting text on screen whenever I mention this stuff
@@PresCities good idea
Love all the pride flags
Omg when can I move to Cabrillo? Happy pride month 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
I'm Christian, so I don't celebrate it, but I mean, IDK. I don't like it, but it doesn't harm me so it's not that bad. (Sorry if I offended you)
🏳️🌈🏳️🌈Happy pride month! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
You should probs have more police driving around considering Berkeley ranks in top 20 crime cities in US. 1 in 15 people can expect to be mugged.
Bill from Cabrillo Sports Arenas and Fields
Thanks for the LGBT representation❤️
u forgot to put LGBT flags
Are there really that many pride flags, like irl? I'm not from American but I have been there a couple times and I have never seen that many flags anywhere. I went to Stanford once and there wasn't really any flags at all (of any sort). Even in the google street views I do not see that many flags, and when there are, there is more varaity with the designs. Or is it just some seasonal thing? Or from specific neighborhoods? I really don't know.
It’s pride month in June, and this place also has a history where it makes sense. But no, you’re not gonna see tons of these in suburban Orange County or anything
san francisco has them everywhere year round, but come june, they’re truly on every street corner.
Welcome to the gayborhood!!! 🏳️🌈🏳️🌈🏳️🌈
3:43 based flags
Build a baseball stadium, have the city big baseball city that’s real American 🇺🇸
Does telegraph Ave have hobby shops? Not cool 'till I can sit & buy model ships, tanks, trucks, planes, and trains. Also that shore line route is owned by Union Pacific, Amtrak only owns 150 (give or take) miles of track which are in New England. And there are historically routes that exceed 6.00% grades, one such example is in Hill City, South Dakota (I recommend a trip, very nice, and so are the folks who work there). Also, I removed Pride Month, and Valentines day, where's the Sabaton fans to get the reference? I disagree with being trans or bi or even gay (current definition, not happy), I might just be that I write my calendar differently, in fact, December does not exist on my calendar, nor does Christmas (December 25). My Christmas is in April, and my December is called Hibernation. Just to be a jerk about it to my family on FB, I blast pictures of Bismarck the week of Valentines day. Still trying to finish my calendar...need more ships, and historic (by my definition) events, (example is D-day or 6-6-1944), shoot my days are named after luxury passenger trains, (actual days represented, Empire Builder (Monday), Broadway Limited (Tuesday), Daylight (Wednesday), Sunset Limited (Thursday), Super Chief (Friday), Chessie (Saturday), and Hiawatha (Sunday).
For timeframe 6:33: Maybe UC was a makeshift stateside base for WW2 , being a makeshift armory, training ground, and POW camp, and before proceeding to the Bikini Atoll, KMS/USS Prinz Eugen would have been sailed up the river for students to see, while UC was transitioning back from army base to campus, with some pictures of the ship residing in 5 locations around the the region (Cabrillo City Hall, UC Center of Arts, the piers (mural), and Cabrillo City Library), with essays, and such playing into the naval history & importance of Cabrillo. Maybe even the regions more popular radio station is Radio Eugen(?) Shoot, I'd even make that station a logo (give me a few weeks), any chance to add history of Prinz Eugen, the better.
isn't a college city without all the "pride flags"
Extremely appreciative of the representation for the LGBTQ+ community! Happy pride! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
