City-building game where the city resists your plans

Original: A city-building game in which the city would prefer you didn't

A new browser-based city-building game is drawing attention for its twist: the simulated city actively pushes back against the player's efforts to build it. Instead of rewarding growth, the game's systems make construction difficult, with zoning and urban dynamics that seem to prefer the player didn't build at all. Commenters are discussing it as a satirical take on housing policy and planning bureaucracies.

Why now: Its unusual anti-building premise resonates with current debates over housing shortages and zoning restrictions.
