I took inspiration from Teru when I restarted my map, and blocked off the area around my house with pwps. My ultimate goal is to have the entire smaller peninsula blocked off (I have a corner river... I'm making a downtown island there), but in the meantime, I'm content to be patient. I do have stitches blocking a bridge at the moment, so it'll wait until he moves out to rebuild it (as a brick one). And since I have a camper moving in tomorrow (in theory), I'm putting up a project in front of town hall today. I don't plot reset, so I take whatever the game rolls.
