They're everywhere in Portland too, but it makes sense. It's pretty easy to get nearly everywhere without owning a cat, but everyone I know in LA has one, which is where this game ostensibly takes place. It's way cheaper because unless you totally luck out you're gonna have to drive for up to three hours every day just to get to work.
It wasn't my finest moment but I walked home from the airport because none of my friends were answering and I didn't want to take out money from the ATM for public transportation and it took me about 5 hours, including stopping for food and a beer. Last time I was in LA I started walking from the airport to Los Feliz and I got lost in Inglewood. My friends who picked me up said I probably would've been walking for at least 2 days.
I guess they didn't catch on out here in New England in tome to beat the realization that they're unreliable and still less fuel efficient than a lot of cars from the 1950s.
The overabundance of Smart Cars (for people in some areas that aren't Ottawa) sort of reminds me how, in the version of San Francisco seen in the underrated DRIVER: SAN FRANCISCO, the most popular compact car seems to be the Aston Martin Cygnet (which is really an Aston Martin version of the Toyota iQ made under license from Toyota so Aston Martin could meet some arbitrary EU environmental standards) even though production was halted after only 2 years and they never made it to North America.
Although, I suppose since the San Francisco in the game exists within Tanner's coma, they can just explain it away as "Tanner thought the Cygnet would be popular in San Francisco".
Graphics have improved enough since the last time I played a video game that this amused the hell out of me. 2015 is a good time to be a dope smoking 15 year old white kid.
Art finally imitates really driving in South Florida.
