Permit Pending Is A City Simulator Where The Council Has To Say Yes

Permit Pending is a browser city simulator where players act as an elected mayor. Construction plans go under review rather than appearing immediately, and residents register opposition rates that the mayor must answer for. Players pick from four city sizes, from Blank Slate at 200 residents to The Unaffordable Metropolis at 300,000, and face citizen petitions, public hearings, lawsuits, and a mayoral election held every four years. The game is free to play.
