Linden Department of Public Works

Linden Department of Public Works
by: bluelinden (source lindenblog)

Work has begun on Bay City, home of the "Fighting Moles" also known as The City by the Void.

LDPW is getting in touch with, and getting signed contracts from, our first set of resident builders and we expect to have our first team meeting in the upcoming week to discuss allocation of tasks, share reference materials, and hand out trowels & grout bags. These skilled contractors will be given project-specific accounts so should you run into a very small avatar with a hardhat, bearing the last name "Mole" be sure to say say hi!

In the meantime, Michael and I (bluelinden) have been organizing the layout of the Regions and parcels.

The style is the American urban experience, between 1940 and 1965, perhaps best typified by Chicago circa 1950 and marked by a distinct deco influence. Most parcels will be around 1024 square meters and "join and divide parcels" will be turned off at the estate level. Residents can still build across parcel boundaries if they own, or have permission to build on, adjacent parcels; but by not allowing parcels to be joined or divided, we hope to influence the "scale" of builds in Bay City.
