That's because I've tried to imitate the urban planning practices of the respected areas that these cities would be in in real life. They are certainly far from ideal cities!

I just find it more challenging/interesting to do it this way. Plus drawing sprawly subdivisions is more fun than a boring grid!

But in the future, maybe I will try to create a city with top notch urban planning!
