I tried this for the first time over the past week or so. The driving immediately stuck out as the weakest point, so having more travel options sounds good.
I kinda wish they had just RGGed it and put everything in like a five block radius. I'm extremely early, but the city and environment just feel bad.
I've read the first couple chapters of Dreamsnake by Vonda N. McIntyre which I picked up after looking through the bingo thread.
I haven't read any of her work before, and am enjoying it so far. I'm finding the prose pretty crisp and readable.
