99% invisible had a series about this, though I don’t remember any names of the episodes. Was essentially reviewing a book about a single lobbyist’s efforts in the 50s to make the car industry unassailable. The particular lobbyist got his way, and it would often destroy giant parts of every city that had any sort of size of black neighborhoods. Dude was essentially the architect of the way most of america thinks about travel now.

After a short google Robert Moses was the dude’s name.

Depends how we’re counting. Actively playing is probably WoW, but I have so many hours in Factorio, as i would just leave it running overnight. Had a server up for friends also, so probably have close to 1k hours of the game being open, but definitely feel like i wasn’t actively playing as much as WoW. Just to how many years i put into playing WoW.

Cities are going to start looking like San Fransokyo (Big Hero 6) soon. Seems like an excellent idea though. If it really gets pursued, I wonder how it will interact with air travel, since I would imagine you would need no fly zones around these, at least at a certain height.
