Kudos to the developer, it does look very nice and I like the retro feel. I'ld give it a go.
That said: I would much rather see a city development game where you start off with existing shitty cities full of car dependency and people complaining about everything (including lack of parking spots ;) but also noise and traffic congestion and loud neighbours etc), and the goal would be to try to make it into nice walkable cities while still getting everyone where they need to be (to jobs, to leisure, shops etc), making it more climate proof and creating more living space for growing population. Converting a Houston style existing city to an Amsterdam/Netherlands style city basically. That would be original... All city builders ignore parking (that's being adressed here I guess), but they all usually also ignore the fact that you start off with existing city and you can't just bulldoze entire neighbourhoods for prestigeprojects or trainlines/highways.
