Us 3 friends built connecting cities in SimCity 2013 ("one of the most disastrous launches in history" [0]). Unintentional but maybe by unconscious belief in how things should be, each of our 3 cities reflected our understanding of what work and production should be like:

- (mine, software engineer) city life, large middle class, high taxes, some luxury districts

- (environmental city planner) Almost entirely renewable energy, vast public transit, living and jobs spread evenly on the map

- ([company redacted] clerk) giant coal mine in the center of the city, mass low-end housing, unchecked health issues, ruled by iron fist

Edit: redacted company name due to people really liking their samples.
