If I was planning a subdivision, I would make one that looks just like a monopoly board. Then you can market your community to tourists as the Monopoly town. And people could actually play Monopoly in real life scale. Although it would be hard to collect money from someone that is all the way on the other side of town. Hmmm. Maybe this wouldn’t work.
Maybe it would be cool to make a park that was a micro-Monopoly. Each property could be six-foot by four-foot. That would make for a 42-foot by 42-foot board. World’s largest Monopoly board! Oh wait. It’s been done already.
