New district could be Hat-teas-burg commercial district? Mississippi has a business district called Hattiesburg so thought it might be a little poetic.

Glad to see Senfkorn's assets featured -- an underappreciated asset creator, in my opinion. He's got some really fantastic stuff!

In Mississippi, there's a city called Hattiesburg, the home of University of Southern Mississippi. You could call your education HaTEASburg. And it was created by European Americans!

Great episode again, Biffa! A small sugestion: using anarchy you could slide a car park between the two buildings of the PICC and drag a road in and a road out in the openings there. I think it will giva a more organic look.

The district for education and conventions makes me think of personal development and how that fits with American principles (which is a bit of a reach for a Brit!) but I was thinking of something like ProsperiTEA Plaza

A day of excitement for the Citizens of Missisipatea as they awake to find the central Stroad gone and replaced with a functioanal main roads. The excitment didn't stop there though as Mayor Biffa announces that he will be implementing several suggestions ffrom the Citizens. The first suggestion implemented, was to age the the tarmac of the parking lots in the city so they match the color of the roads. An odd suggestion indeed , we agree it does look better but we are worried about the cracks that have appeared as a result of this. Next the entire Hemlock district was redesigned, European styled building were banned and many buisnesses were force to relocate to acomodate the new road layout. Metro lines were adjusted to accomodate the changes, but power plants were largely untouched by these changes though there were a few small black outs as power lines were adjusted. Citizens are warned that there may be supply shortages and price increases for the next few days and the local industry is re-establihed. Heavy traffic has been ban in Spring hills in an effort to provide some peace to the long time residents of the city. In other traffic related new Mayor Biffa has responded to countless complaints regarding the needless waste os resources and unatractivness of the road/railway crossings, on the outskirts of the city. Both the rail and thew road ways have been adjusted acordingly. Several buildings have been constructed for public use near the educational district, such structures include a large convention center a comunity center and an architechts firm. Lets hope that they can reduced the need for demolitions within the city. Plenty of parking has of course been provided for anyone wishing to make use of these new facilities. So what do you think of you fellow citizens suggestions?Hugo has certainly been working hard processing them, apparently he hasn't seen the sun for weeks now! It seems that Mayor Biffa has great plans for the cities expansion in the near future, so we here at City News will see you then .

Had an idea for a new zone, if you decide to add in a section for government buildings/parks it could be called LiberTEA (Liberty) Square

First of all - I appreaciate the approach of having most things above ground where you can see them. 19:18 This wye is really huge and getting quite close to the point where the station tracks of the cargo terminal split from the cargo main line. Probably not a train length. This could be improved by shrinking the wye a tiny bit. 11:19 Relocating the metro station is definetly a good decision from the metro perspective - but metro and tram are almost becoming clones of each other. Maybe the tram should find new routes where it won't act as a rival for the metro and rather provides access to the metro.

Just thinking about that new area at the end. If you added a couple more buildings like the convention center then you could make it a In-Tea National Marketplace.

For the convention center, since you talked about how the way they entered the building was odd, maybe you could play with the spawn points mod to try and make it a bit better?

You should add a japanese garden behind the library. It'll fit in perfectly!

Hello biffa. Just saying there are intersections in your city where they drive over the grass. Visually some of them cant turn left but they actually can. Maybe fix that by deciding they cant turn left there or make it so they visually can turn left.

Thank you Simon Jones :-)

The new convention center area is fantastic. Someone else mentioned how a lot of expo centers over here are named after sponsors, and that made me think that it would be a really fun throwback to have this one be the New Yorkshire Tea Expo Center (lil bit of US with the New York, lil bit of Biffa lore with the Yorkshire tea). Also, the redone industry area and the big suburb next to it remind me a lot of some of the areas of Pennsylvania near where my mom lives. (As a New Englander, I'm not a fan of that style, but it's certainly very American!)

That river area, would be great to see a series of round glass towers, following the curve of the water, executive apartments overlooking the River and the hills. Teasriver Towers District. Looking very nice. I just want to add how truly relaxing and entertaining it is watching your videos of an evening, I do look forward to them. You have a calming, humorous approach which often raises a smile 😃 keep up the excellent work. 😀

Hey Biffa, a tip for the road-based car parks; if you use node controller on the node connecting the access road and car park, you can adjust the node type, then make the ends meet at 45° and it will square up the road/car park to look much more realistic!

At 9:30 you only have one straight on lane feeding two downstream. Better to have the right and straight on share a lane. Lane mathematics works at junctions too.

Been binge watching episodes for 3 days! Going to go back and watch some of your other builds from the beginning! In America most of the High Schools have indoor swimming pools, Basketball auditoriums, Baseball fields, and Football fields. College sport teams bring in more revenue than any other source! Every convention center has huge amounts of parking lots and garages. Several hotels or motels very close to the venue. In suburban areas there are at least 3 swimming pools for every 10 to 20 homes. In high density areas there were public swimming pools. And if you are fortunate enough to live near a lake or river there are always public swimming beaches. Time to binge some more videos!😁

The pleasure seeing the wonky bridge being erased. To avoid tunnels (I am with you about seeing things, so no tunnels) I usually do what you did to train tracks, love it. The only thing you need to change are the busses, double decker airport themed bus do not fit.

Not only do you need parking lots you need parking garages! That convention center has way more guests than parking spaces. A parking garage would give you a ton of parking while not taking up that much more space!

@@Tim_van_de_Leur Its because our cities are so unwalkable, driving 1/2 a mile down the road makes more sense sometimes than walking. Also, parking lots are investments. What may look like a large lot charging $10 per car can also be used for far fewer school busses and charge $100 per bus. Big money in parking.

Do parking garages work yet in Cities Skylines? I've always had cars fly to get to upper levels so I stopped using them.

Great episode. maybe some benches in some of those parks/walking paths and a few stand out large trees would be nice touches, it's looking pretty tight either way!

Great episode as always. The changes you made definitely improved the city. I look forward to the next episode

You could name the convention center area the Infinitea Center, or just find one of the biggest office buildings in the city and use that company name for the area. A lot of city buildings over here are named after their corporate sponsors! (I hate it, but it’s true!)

For the intersection at 34:50, something I see a lot in my city is that that would be a right turn only and you could make a u-turn at the next stoplight intersection

Biffa: I dont hate tunnels. Also Biffa: *finds a way to not use tunnels 🤣🤣🤣 I love you Biffa your so funny.

Looking good. I do get a little envy seeing all the mods and assets you get to use on PC 😆.

Chester district! It would represent the biggest symbol of tea in America. The world's largest teapot Chester teapot, a teapot shaped building made in 1938, and billed as "world's largest" to represent a local pottery industry

You really need to turn on the dedicated turning lane option in TMPE.

The education and convention district could be Tea-licon Valley, or some other play on Silicon Valley 😁

Boston Convocation has a nice ring to it!

How about the Yaupon District, named for the indigenous tea drunk by the Cahokia tribe of Native Americans?

Biffa, Car Park is a British term. In the USA they are called Parking Lots.

Sometimes in the US there is a service called Ride and Rail. Seeing that space in a city is not always available, there are alternative shuttle services to car parks just outside the city coming from major transportation hubs.

I genuinely look forward to Saturday morning with hot coffee and Biffa’s video.

Still not enough parking for US. The cities are very car centric. Add some parking garages in high density areas. Most car parks are rarely fenced in.

5:06 reminds me of the Cargospace meme.... "Cargospace? Car no do that, car no fly"

Nice work Biffa m8 love ur city builds

"MITea Business Park" goes well with the MIT university already added :P

Only Biffa would take a railway that is already raised and sink it below the level of the land to avoid just changing it to a rail bridge and running the road underneath.

Another great episode! Maybe you would want to extend the metro line to the other side of the education district and use a futuristic looking end station? Idk I think it would fit the vibe in the district.

I really enjoy your videos. I was wonder if you could to a sort of mini series of tutorials on the Asset Editor, which goes through the different options. (Intersections, parks, buildings etc.)

My humble suggestion for the new area would be the Arnold Palmer Educational District from the amazing mix of iced tea and lemonade over here in the US.

You should put concrete under the convention center. At the moment it looks a bit od

Might I suggest a tourism or leisure zone near the convention centers? You might then need to extend the metro to the new commercial area to help with the extra traffic it would produce.

I was making tea while watching this video and it was so interesting that I got distracted and accidentally added too much sugar to my tea

Placenames... do you have: Libertea Consteatutional Inteapendance Teak District? An Ivy Teague University... maybe named after a US brabd tea? Maybe a "Hugo Dare Memorial College and Convention Center" There would be an NTA (National Tea Association) NTLA (National Tea Liberties Association)

Hey Biffa love the episode again. The new area with the convention center and other i have an idea. Since that area not only has a university, public library and convention center but it also has the architecture build. I would suggest since its in North America like this where you have named educational districts, its usually the town name and then just educa(tea)onal [get it tea] district and or a short form. Example (Dallas Independent School District. Or Dallas ISD) But that's my opinion Thanks again for fun video

Thank you for the upload Biffa. Its like a soothing ointment to the soul..

@Biffa As a resident of the state you based the city name from I have a few suggestions for the Hemlock District based on state county names and cities. TeaSoto, Teanica, Teate, Nesbitea Love these city building series and can't wait to see how this goes moving forward.

The place infront of the Industry and the Commercial should be offices Biffa! Makes more sense rather than 5 billion car parks

I wish the fences and trees and foliage on ps4 version worked as efficiently as PC. so frutrating when you fence off an area and cant get fences to curve or even go straight in some areas ... i really need to get a PC amd get the stram version. It would be like having a brand new game with all the mods and assets... cheers Biffa for your inspiring vids...

Thank you for the nice time lapses

Here is an idea: Make the American flag with paths and plaza: Amusement park paths for red strips, university paths for white strips and paradox plaza as the stars.

As a Filipino and Biffa's long-time fan, I am happy that he put a Philippine structure in Mississipatea.

Great work!

The Philippines Convention Center looks like a typical generic modern building. There's a similar structure near me located at a community college.

13:21 You've got the handicapped parking spaces the wrong way around. The ones you used are the LHD ones. :)

As a Filipino, I was surprised to see the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in your build. It's Asia's first international convention center built in 1976. A pretty old and historical building that was originally designed to hold four-building modules, thus, the way it looks.

This is really starting to shape up into a good American style sprawl

For a US city, you really need to be using a chainlink fence normally, and save other fences for specific choices. They're ugly but inexpensive and are EVERYWHERE in the sorts of places where you're bordering things.

For the convention and education center... thinking about the Javits Center in NYC. Javitea Center

One thing you should incorporate, in america you see flags literally everywhere. Whether it’s city hall or a McDonald’s it’s going to have a big star spangled banner waving out front

Liking seeing more cherry trees. When you create the riverside high rise district, you could emulate DC (they were a gift from Japan ~100 years ago) and have a river walk lined with cherry trees.

These parkings are Great!

Excellent background music👈👍

Being that mississippitea would be in the south, two of our major brands of tea are luzianne and Lipton. So maybe you could call it luzianne educational center or Lipton institute

Sweet Universitea Plaza, seeing as sweet tea is the quintessential drink of the south

Hi Biffa, Love your videos. In your car parks/parking lots, for your disabled/accessible parking stalls, why do you use parallel spaces when the rest of the parking in the lot is 90-degree/perpendicular parking? Cheers!

My mom used to drink Red Rose tea. That could be a nice name for the new area.
