The graphics are nice, the gameplay seems to be fluent, it nicely displays the dynamics of people going to work or to bars, but other than that...

I played for a while, and got up to 605 Mexican residents. However, I think there was a bug or something because the American residents capped out at 46. It was really neat to play in fast forward and see everyone swarm to their destination. I would have liked to see some kind of constraint on building though, as I could just build as much as I wanted all the time, so there didn't seem to be a downside to doing things wrong or a benefit for doing them right. In any case, I had fun playing your game. Good work! :)"},{"author_name":"vividhelix","author_uid":"35713","time":"Sep 1, 2014 @ 5:11pm","epoch":1409591160,"text":"Interesting take on the theme.
