LEGO City doesn't have enough buildings and I am disapointed. What happend to the "city" part of the theme?
A dedicated LEGO fan and community member recently voiced strong disappointment regarding the current state of the LEGO City theme, highlighting a severe lack of structural buildings in recent product waves. While building a custom layout, the fan evaluated the current lineup and discovered a massive imbalance that heavily favors transportation over infrastructure.
A breakdown of the current LEGO City wave reveals a disproportionate focus on mobility, featuring a staggering 60 different vehicle sets and five miscellaneous builds like roller coasters. In stark contrast, the theme offers a meager seven buildings. This current ratio leaves builders who struggle to design their own architectural structures with very few official options to populate their town layouts.
The community discussion points to a long-standing desire for LEGO to shift more attention back to the "city" aspect of the theme by producing a greater variety of buildings. Fans see immense potential for new structures that the company currently leaves unexplored.

For builders currently struggling to organize their vehicle-heavy collections or trying to design custom streetscapes without enough official structures, it helps to stay organized. You might want to sort your spare elements using a LEGO storage organizer or keep a brick separator handy as you experiment with custom building techniques to fill the gap left by current sets.

I recently checked out the current wave of city sets and I was very let down. There are currently 60 vehicals, 5 "other" (like roller coasters,) and 7 buildings. I don't like how lego neglects the buildings aspect of their lego "city" sets. I wish lego would make more buildings. There is so much they could do that they just don't. ...
