I like to do this for civil constructions.

You ever took a look an desert settlements?

There are so many awesome things to see there, and thinking of all the little humans doing their shit there is mesmerizing.

Kind of Sim city/sims in real life

Agreed, I've learned a lot doing this. Sometimes it leads to a story, like the ruins of a federal fire watchtower that was destroyed by arson, or discovering one of the largest fisheries in the country. I've also noticed a lot more houses are torn down in my city than might be expected. Whole blocks are empty fields now, or maybe have one derelict house remaining.

It's also disturbing just how much trash people collect in their yards... and the massive wounds of foresting and strip mining.

Ugh, I was in rural china once and the uncle of my ex threw all his trash in his back yard. Disgusting. Nobody really minded though. They didn't approve, but they didn't confront him.
