I think a lot of the issue is that North America is a laaaarge area, and many times there are natural disasters concurrently or one after another. A large blizzard and endemic power outtages and flooding in the east. A hurricane hits florida and we suspend it for 6 months, then wildfires go crazy in california and it could be another 6 months.

I understand the intent of it sure. But it makes much more sense on a smaller country (land-area wise) like Japan than it does for North America.

If anything i just think its shows the current housing system just isnt sustainable, especially if the game keeps growing.
