These are all very valid points. Cities: Skylines ends up being kind of a "traffic sim" game once you get down to the nuts and bolts of it. Even though they have some very intelligent citizens, it's still not quite up to par for pathing.

I still think it's the best City Sim game made yet. The author here should really invest some time to learn about Skyline's failings so they can avoid those problems in their own sim.
