Petition for SimCity 5

This petition is an effort of avid SimCity fans across the world to encourage Electronic Arts and the franchise creator, Will Wright, to release a true successor to SimCity 4. It is quite understandable if SimCity Societies was developed for those new to the franchise, but the game neglected to give veterans of the series any of the elements found in SimCity 4 and it's predecessors.

Provided EA takes our petition seriously, we the gamers ask that if made, the next adaptation of SimCity include the following features:
