SimCity, but every building has to survive the zoning board
SimCity, but with Permits

Permit Pending is a browser-based city sim where you're an elected mayor rather than a god. Every apartment block, bus lane, and factory must clear hearings, objections, lawsuits, and appeals, while a real economy of rents, land values, jobs, and taxes churns underneath. Negotiate concessions, win votes on a seven-seat council, and survive reelection every four years. Free, no account, saves stay on your machine.
We have filed an appeal on procedural grounds. The procedure is the point.
