"They were this close to making it a good city."

It's the Capital of California, which is why all the AI ads are directly targeted at the governors, for comparison in SF all the AI ads are for consumer products.

It would have been a good city to live, if not for the abandoned downtown and +45C constantly in the summer time, but overall -- good attempt, honest work.
