I wasn't excluding that option but go ahead and add that to the list. I full well expect that if California and Broadway were pedestrian corridors in this superblock that there be residential/office/retail on all corners and street fronts. I 110% agree with you :-)

I never played SIM City, but that area would explode with $$$ potential.
