That doesn't bode well for the general populace. xDThat might be due to the rather limited scope of games as it relates to cities.  I mean, we want huge cities that feel like they live and breathe, but we don't necessarily need them.  I mean, what exactly do we need buildings for?  We don't actually need to represent the dwelling of every person that lives and works in the town (though that would be awesome in an MMO, a la Fable, for everyone to have to go to bed, lock up shop, and hope the guards stop you from robbing the place).  Outside of that, we don't often need legal representation or to visit a government sewage office.
[edit] Regarding the city, impressive and all, but I'd be willing to bet you can't enter any but a very few buildings.Would love to see cities in MMOs that actually feel like cities instead of constructed facades. GW2 is as close as I've ever seen get to that.
I can think of a game that would and could need that, but even I'm thinking that's outside the scope of today's probability, to need to break into the sewage treatment offices to steal plans or plant bugs in order to access the sewers for another break-in later.
