Larger building are more spectacular. They definetely have their place in a
town (Office buildings, high rises and factories, to name a few...). But, I
personally prefer smaller buildings, mostly because I can fit more in the
same space. It gives me the feeling that my town is "complete" since I can
have a good variety of shops and services.
Also, there is the "nostalgia factor". Small buildings remind me of the
golden age of Lego Town ('80s and early '90s) when I was growing up. I try
to capture that "feeling" when I change/build something in my town. I guess
it's a childhood thing. Does that make sense?
