Real Talk
Cape Town (April 30) skipped the Modular Apartment formula. Singapore (May 15) brought it back. Vancouver (May 22) confirms the return. Two consecutive paywalled-modular city evolutions after Cape Town's break — Cape Town now reads as the exception, not a pivot. The formula was paused for one drop, not retired.
Pacific Northwest Trading Post is a strong cultural anchor for Vancouver — Indigenous-inspired artwork, artisan storefronts, coastal character. The narrative work is good. The mechanical work is unchanged: $20 Deluxe Bundle, 600 units, $12K cap, one new unique structure unlocked to bundle buyers. Predictable revenue at predictable scale.
