I am going to be eternally amused by Cities Skylines players/developers realizing that their Perfect Capitalism Simulation... fucking sucks for almost everyone. Including the person ostensibly "in-charge" of the project.
Similarly, in older SimCity games (going back to, like, the SNES version), I found that while expensive up front, having exclusively mass transit rail in a city without a single tile of road is actually a better long term strategy that completely bypasses traffic problems and a whole lot of pollution.
This is why the industries expansion works the way it does, with the state completely owning and operating the industries in question. The devs realized that even in virtual worlds Dengism is the only sane path.
