The one that gets me is Juneau. Like, it's totally cut off from the land and has a river running down the valley. You could have done some Venice shit or some Amsterdam stuff but instead they built a highway and shipped cars in.

Tbc, you cannot drive out of Juneau. Your car just hangs out there.

TBF there are car ferries to Skagway and Washington

But yeah would've been cooler if they didn't

Yeah, but in equivalent places in other parts of the world you'd park in Skagway or Washington and take the ferry into Juneau

Oh yeah, look at that utilization

And that sprawl

This is how you play frostpunk.

Is there something like parking lot map for other countries? It'd be cool to see stuff around my area

Also, ofc the only plants in that image are grass and trees :'(

Based on OSM data, so can be spotty depending on the local scene, also foregoes on street parking but it gets you close enough and it's free
