I am the city planner modern society needs
so true
average American city planner:
god love ya RT, you’re my favorite youtuber and i’ve been following you since the older pokémon videos, hope ya see this and it brightens your day
2/10 Not enough car centric infrastructure, just add one more lane trust me
The grid is just the most efficient planning method, look at NYC! They have tons of people living there
watching the entire squad of police cars IMMEDIATELY leave the police station to fight crime once they were allowed was almost comical
criminally underrated moment
*Almost* comical?
They were like ants
@@Tumbleflopcriminally you say? 🚨
@@katiekatecat indeed
Major props to Dan for living the life of a US city planner, making a city that has public transit that's not operating, a city wholly comprising of a grid, no services whatsoever except for an absurdly overdone prison, and only being vaguely profitable off of technicalities. Oh, and the tornados.
....and parking lots littering the land....
Average town in oklahoma
God bless America
@@eminempregAverage town in the Midwest
Sometimes I wish I was in the US instead of SEA. This is not one of those times 😂
"The backbone of this is parking fees."
RT successfully recreated a modern American city, by accident.
Noo, he actually found a way to make it profitable, American suburbia does free parking and the cities just go bankrupt
@@lunarnaor they sell it to a banking firm like Chicago did
Houston, Texas achieved
I mean he created a city only using the grid tool so yes he created a modern American city
Well it was this or nickel & diming misdemeanor offenses so /shrug
I like how Dan's solution for a struggling economy is to install a car centric police state.
*sound of an Eagle, and machinegun fire in the distance
America, fuck yeah!
A pretty big hyperbole, but fair
America!!
It took 5 minutes for RT to become an honorary american
Ah, the classic "Level all the hills" and "Why is there flooding now?" two-step.
Florida in 2 sentences.
"Fill in all of these awful swamps and wet lands."
"Where is all of this flood water coming from?!"
"Let's chop all these trees on the mountain for lumber!"
"Why are there so many avalanches?"
@@tadferd4340 I don't mean to actually you but deforestation causes land slides. Avalanches are mainly caused by small earthquakes or compunding effects of vibration at the top of mountains.
If you didn't mean to then why did you do it anyways? Own up to your glasses adjusting, tie straightening um actually's or don't do it at all.
@@Ruggderv
"the hole is angry" followed by turning around to see a gigantic tornado right behind you is peak comedy
As it turned out, the EVERYTHING was angry.
In light of the city planning strategies displayed here, I am proud to present Daniel with his honorary US citizenship.
That's not enough, he needs to become president immediately. No campaigning, no election, not even an inauguration, he is now just the president of the United States now.
I’m glad at how this video has managed to summon absolutely every American to talk about the atrocious state of their urban planning.
As an American, I regard my urban planning as *significantly* better than Europe’s. Considerably more wheelchair accessible!
Yeah, though they seem to be mainly focused in the southern states with all the mentions of tornados 🤔
@@trygveplaustrum4634 🤡🤡
As an american, im pleased to see you follow our examples with the dystopian grids.
As an American, I'm pleased at the horrible freeway interchange.
Grid cities are pretty good actually, i'll die on this hill
I feel like grids would make it easier for public transit. Though for some reason most American cities ignore that aspect
@@fawndoe1917Well, at least you're dead.
Grids are good, change my mind
Congratulations on making Chicago. An improvement in your city would be making the parking fees go to a private company, you know, for realism.
Climate Town moment
Standup maths moment
If you wanted the true San Francisco experience you would have left the hills and still done the uninterrupted grid anyway.
Gotta throw in some diagonal major streets tho lol like where Market meets Van Ness
The whole reason behind the insanely steep roads in SF is because the guy who originally laid out the planned grid for the city was from/based on Philadelphia, an almost entirely flat city with few hills.
Because making a grid over hills meant you’d be left with roads at a 10% incline, it was not a development method used in any hilly cities or towns. SF is pretty much the only city like this in the United States.
And the diagonal columbus street
He got the high rent accurate at least.
@@kerryis2col it would be more realistic if he zoned every single block for either rowhomes or gigantic office towers, and then refuse to demolish any of the buildings regardless of demand
as a lifelong SF resident, im pleased how not five minutes in Dan recreated pg&e's shit electricity service. "50% less, and it costs 50% more"
ETA: and dan has now reclaimed land from the bay, just like in real life!
Even without mods, RT still managed to make Spaghetti Junction.

@@xfrejaLIKE A STICKAHHH
Imagine coming home from work to learn that while you were gone, your mayor had the apartment building you live in bulldozed without warning because your neighbor complained on twitter.
There are two ways to run a city: ensure your citizens are happy and all their needs are met while still making a profit, and taxing the poor for every little thing they do
Unfortunately the latter is way easier so it tends to be what most American cities do
Lifehack: you can do both if the poor aren't considered citizens!
@@mathieucozien5736American politicians writing this down
Ah yes, the Bay Area is known for two things: kafkaesque city planning...and stealth tornadoes
The traffic is on point as well
Don’t forget the overinvestment in the police force
@@RyBrown and Police Brutality.
@@BlackMoonHowls*cloaker sounds*
I live in Denver, so I can say this.
The city at the end of this screen is literally Denver.
The only thing that this city does better than Denver is the fact that parking is essentially banned.
Otherwise, the extreme poverty, cost of living, the resulting crime rates, the dysfunctional zoning codes, the literal HECTARES of the worst kind of housing imaginable (single family housing)... You set out to make San Francisco, you made Denver.
The key difference is he flattened the hill, you re-add them and drop the police you are back to San francisco
and the batshit roads are so denver 😭
The Clover.
I adore Cloés editing subtely highlighting when RT really misses an aspect of the game. Like at 1:40.
She highlighted the wrong one though, road colour is residential suitability
@@rednaw1523hello fellow pluto pfp haver
Pretty subtle yea
If all the tornadoes were instead earthquakes this would've been a perfect representation of San Fransisco ngl
10:04 nothing quite as comical as dan remarking on the hole making noise and then turning around to see a tornado
I love how Dans spaghetti streets always tend to end up looking like the average city themed Sonic level, all thats missing is a split that goes into 2 loops
They should add loops.
Road Anarchy for Cities Skylines 2: Not yet a thing.
Dan: That won't stop me.
I really do love how the different residential demands allow for more suburban hellscapes to form in this game
I accidently called this "griddy skylines" and I hate myself now.
Why did I laugh. Fml
Your sentence is life imprisonment.
Little reminder that your most successful city was the one that had only one street. Maybe you should replicate it
As an American resident, I realy appreciate RT pulling out all the stops to accurately represent the quality of our roads. Nothing quite like the Spaghetti Bowl! Peak infrastructure!!!! Huzzah!!!!
> How did we bounce back? Ah, our parking ticket fines came in
Yeah, that's Leechburg all right. That and speeding fines.
Talking as someone from a rural community, that will TOTALLY impact the livestock
Will it Impact the trout Population?
@@thmxszWho carers there is no Fresh Fish in the landlocked states, it's all frozen for transportation.
@@BlackMoonHowls soooo it wont impact the trout population?
I love how amazed Dan is with the giant grid being placed over San Francisco as if there isn’t already a giant grid over San Francisco
11:23 most accurate representation of San Francisco roads I’ve ever seen
I had a dream RT started filing his taxes live on stream
That would be entertaining.
*Starts blasting MLKJs "I have a dream" speech but its about wanting RT to do his taxes on stream* WTF😭😭
“Flawless design that is absolutely perfect” *waits for the meteors to hit*
Country rooooaaaadssss
Could it be that you need specific infrastructure to get natural disasters warnings?
It's so funny seeing Dan commit every single urbanist sin in the book. Not Just Bikes is turning in his grave
Not Just Bikes is dead, and this video killed him.
Dan started with San Francisco and ended up playing as Netherlands in reclaiming land from the sea
Shout-out for Dan making San Francisco more livable than the real life counterpart
Burn
@@matthewboire6843We do that enough here in California.
@@SirPembertonS.CrevaliusAdding another lane will fix that.
@@SirPembertonS.Crevalius i knew it was hot but not that hot
Thats because he flattened the hills, so the grid actually works.
Cities skylines 2: the only game where you get jumpscared by a tornado and only feel mildly annoyed about it.
As someone who lives in San Francisco, he hit the bullseye with this replica
"Irish Waffle House manager gets promoted to Mayor of Waffle-like City."
Waffle House has found it's new host once again
@@HazeEmry Don't start.....
Alternate title: Daniel gets snuck up on by tornados for 15 minutes
2:45 A tornado so strong it blew the censor away
gotta love that spiteful water tower placement, it just made my day
someone call dave about the giant mysterious blue water hole
Daveshiro strikes again.
'' the HOLE is ANGRY..... OH NO ITS NOT THE HOLE'' RT got me there.
I didn’t expect this video to become an accidental commentary on America city planning and design
Now it just needs a toll boot as the only entrance and exit to the city
2:45 you know it’s serious when RT doesn’t censor “fuck” with “TH-cam”
Ah, yes. My favourite game of Dystopian Infrastructure Simulator. Played so well as well. I'm glad RT made Leechburg a TRUE example of the perfect North American infrastructure design.
0:01 Where I grew up there was a town called Lynchburg.
Apparently the founder’s brother inspired the use of the term ‘lynching.’
Lovely.
8:50 All hands on deck at the Police station. That part took me out! LMAO!
7:59 This makes me, a Dutchman, proud.
“Welcome to San Francisco”
And thus, the world was doomed.
12:56 'Its not like you have a home any more'
*Instantly gets a residence*
Hey RT, did you know that
1. You can now zone under overpasses
2. You can create multi level highways, a dev stream showed a 7 layer highway
3. If you have enough homeless, you can get tents in your parks
I look forward to your monstrosities.
The grid is fueled by the high poly count teeth of each citizen
Imagine your neighbor tweets something, and the next day you wake up in a field.
Can't wait for this game to be actually done in two years... wait, it's already out?!?!
I've done The Grid in the first game in campaign mode, eventually completely square-gridding a full map of 3x3 plots or whatever the maximum is. The worst traffic is at the entrances to the city, and it seems not much will mitigate that. When I tried putting in a train to ship things in and out better, the insane red-level traffic moved from the city entrances to the train station. The trains backed up clear past where I could see beyond the edge of the map. So I killed the train station and let the red traffic go back to where it had started.
The Tornado came so out of nowhere, RT forgot to censor his *youtube* response
I am all for the chaos that is RT doing anything, but this is genuinely my nightmare. The horrors of urban sprawl haunt me in the real world, and it seems have found me here aswell...nowhere is safe anymore... Love the content as always though, keep up the great work :)
I love that tornado that's like "Surprise, bitch!" every time it appears XD
You can bury the electrical high voltage lines. So at the start of the video you could have gone underneath your dump.
It's been years since I've been back in the city, but this 100% accurate to my memory of San Francisco.
Stealth Tornado Ninjas.
as someone going into urban planning this video is a goddamn nightmare to watch. just a real master class in 20th century urban planning
Prague moment😪😪
Dan took the Enron route when it came to electricity
we laugh but this is essentially how united states urban planning works. big grid and pray
And remember kids if you complain on Twitter _/X\_ about the terrible living conditions Ravenous Torture Games will come to your house and demolish it
It's Really Terrible that life has cpme to this 😔😔😔😔
Does Dan know that San Francisco actually has godawful grid-based streets or was that a stroke of luck?
RTGame don't need road anarchy, he can bend roads at his will without it
wow I can't believe Dan finally took inspiration from Houston for his city design, a perfect city with no issues with parking, crime, or pollution
ironically this is a metagaming concept i explored in cities skylines a long time ago and i found that indeed, just making a huge city of squares works. this along with the one road tactic which i found to be alot less successful, and one highway with 100 intersections which i found to be the best outcome, so long as you dont have orange industry heavy traffic ruining the road for the rest of the city.
This is an accurate representation of what Indianapolis is like
Praise the hole
11:22 welcome to halfpipe lane
8:20
POV: You're the city planner of Los Sueños
"The hole is angry"
"wait no that's not the hole"
that tornado had stealth 100 god damn.
Figures RT would have an issue with feeding his people.
He has a history of that.
2:00 Markiplier’s Iron Lung, circa 2023
My favorite part of the new video was when RT’s editor was revealed to have been a descendent of Margaret Thatcher and had to be deleted from his vision of the new world order
(Yes, I know that’s not how Cloé’s name is spelled. Let me be funny. Also great editing, Cloé, you’re awesome)
7:58 Team Magma
Hahahahaha removing Chloe because she's a Thatcher killed me
"fix the traffic RT" brother, i dont think you should be asking about a fix to such a complex issue to the man that basically created hell on earth in cities skylines
It might be an urban hellscape, but Dan does actually give the people what they want constantly. Sure parking costs are super high, but if you want industrial, you got it! You want shops, you got it! He’s not bad at this actually.
"If they're willing to pay, I'm willing to sell." Just like real San Fransisco
I have never been happier to not live in an urban area. I just live in a weird area that’s not quite rural and not quite suburban. Gotta love the cities around where I live aren’t as much as a hell scape as this city is.
“What if I just start reclaiming the sea” ah yes, turning San Francisco into Dubai. I look forward to The World being built off the coast
12:30 RT GAME MAKES A SURVEILANCE STATE! xD
1:17 RT at least partially discovering why grids are typically used in cities :p
And the rest...well, as you'd expect..
So basically all American urban planners ever
Rt just made every American city
"TEAR IT DOWN" *camera pans to a tornado doing just that*
Something about a mix of suburban hell, sneaky tornadoes, unholy roads, RT destroying the homes of those who criticize him, parking fee based economy, THE HOLE, and mass famine, is absolutely hilarious.
Its insane that we all just watched a real time descent into american style neoliberalism
"It's not the Hole!" - cut to tornado. Peak comedy.
2:46 Dan, looks like you missed a ‘TH-cam’ censor here
Started as American urban planning, turned into an authoritarian police state.
Wonderful playthrough of the new America Simulator!
0:29 oh, it’s just Chicago
just needs some alleys lol
