Realistic Planning

Its your game to design as you wish. You can always change it later. I admit when I was starting out in this game I put barbed wire around the elementary school. :mrgreen: Have since removed it, though.

In fact, I DO have them next to each other in my town... :D

I put the Unemployment Office next to the High School. Seemed logical. Unemployment Office is in storage now because, let's get real .. there aren't any jobs anyway, so it just takes up valuable space.

So now I have the High School conveniently placed next to the prison. :)

There's a high school nearby me with barbed wire around it...

I have my prison beside the Nuclear Power Plant.

I have also seen schools with barbed wire around them, which I also thought was crazy. But let's all remember, truth is stranger than fiction.

Annette, I have my Unemployment Office placed next to First Bank of Springfield. Again, I would have thought this was illogical before, quite illogical. However, I have a really good friend who worked as a loan officer in a large city. Their branch location was located right where the city bus stopped. The Office of Unemployment was on the same block, as well as the Department of Health and Human Resources. The Bank that he worked for reached an agreement with the state to provide the debit cards that all of these benefits were issued through. So it was like a revolving door, people would get off the bus, go to either the Office of Unemployment for their unemployment benefits, or the DHHR for their disability benefits, and then over to the branch banking location to cash their first check and set up automatic deposits after that. They still even got the $100 free for opening a new account on direct deposit :) Although it was pretty hard for my friend to "cross-sell financial products" like annuities, IRA's, mutual funds, etc.

I deliberately put the Springfield Prison in the middle of a residential neighborhood. My statement against "NIMBY" syndrome. :lol:

I have the Republican headquarters sandwiched between Springfield Penitentiary and Death Mountain. Looks pretty good there, actually. I wonder if our neighbors notice these subtle details on their visits?

:shock:

Since I received them, my nuclear plant has always been between my elementary school and the prison, and all are located on my mountainous side of town.

The beauty of this game is it's your choice to put whatever wherever.

Mine's in the corner of my town. Do it if you want! :-)
