Decrease the distance of the roads and highway please, make it quick. 

lmao you'll probably run out of fuel before you get to your destination. I don't see how on earth this is a 'similar size' map to v2d because it looks even bigger than V5P.

You may say you know what's best for FL - However I too believe I hold a strong sense of what is best long-term. Sure, I don't play on FL much anymore but I do know what's important game-mode wise and community-wise:

1) Map Size, Layout and Functionality

V5P/V4B1 are both stronger choices because of the fact that they are all more aesthetically pleasing selections. The buildings are well designed, well planned and the locations are well thought out in comparison to these other maps posted in the poll. V5P has long been a favorite choice of mine due to the fact that it is easy to move around the map without owning a car - taking advantage of Public Transportation (Underground Rail, Buses) gives you an easy opportunity to navigate from town to Industrial/Suburbs with just a quick walk to the station. This is one of my favorite things because, in my opinion, CityRP should prioritize RP Interactions between players and the potential for interactions to occur just in this one example is immense. Considering the fact that this Metro Station is a hotspot for pedestrian traffic - it becomes a wonderful spot to open up an RP that can either be Passive or Aggressive. I've opened up a business hotel, casino, cafe and even done UndergroundRP (Drug Dealer, Arms Dealer, Mafia) all from this one area because of the environment it creates. You got trouble with someone that's not paying protection services in town? Take them for a walk to the station, load them into one trams and take them back to the Don Corleone that's located out of town. If things go south - you can always knock them out on the rail and make them beg for their life. 

Additionally - this map offers an unlimited amount of RP Zones for all groups. Mechanics have a fully functional shop in the city center that offers office space, a car lift that actually works and plenty of space to decorate how they wish. Industrial areas aren't limited to (1) part of the map but instead can be found from the Slums (City Center) - Industrial - MTL and even in the Farms. The options are endless and on a server with 70+ individuals on this is important to have. You might argue that the map size is too large, however, I'd argue that this isn't an issue. I personally believe even V5P is a map that is enjoyable with a low player count as the map is the best looking one out there - unless your graphics card is a potato. Spaces are secluded and when you go to fish at the lake it feels as if you're truly "out of town" and far away - something that isn't necessarily shared on maps such as V4B1 or V2D. Another great thing about this is the amount of places you have to run a business and live! Apartments available in a number of different areas, both in town and out, along with plenty of residential spaces. 

2) Low Player Count Friendly - Map Size Needed for New Content

What's important for CityRP (?) this is something that many can debate but I believe the game-mode has been and should continue to develop to a point where it's truly enjoyable with or without players on. Doing things such as fishing or participating in NPC Tasks (Shipping) were made possible or more enjoyable. Imagine how difficult it would be to have all these large trucks on a small city layout such as V2D. It's simply not logical. V5P can accomodate this new content which has made the game more enjoyable to play on even when nobody is on. That's what makes a game-mode successful. 

3)  Endless Building Options

As mentioned above - the amount of RP Zones is endless in comparison to V2D and this is wonderful because CityRP is a building driven role-play gamemode. V5P already has beautifully designed exteriors/interiors that don't require many props to detail, whereas these buildings in V2D are outdated and were pre-existing from the previous version. The layout of V2D, though it ahs been edited, has clearly been made worse. The amount of props needed to create RP Zones would be far beyond what the prop-limit of the average user has to spend and to be honest a map that needs props to make it look aesthetically pleasing isn't a map that should be chosen.

TL;DR - I hope the team goes with their statement about the vote being "not binding" because I would never want to play on this server if it decided to go to an out-dated or poorly made map that, despite having the current interest because it's new, would only make this turn into a DarkRP-feeling server. CityRP is Semi-Serious and deserves a map that has the potential to foster RP. Again, this is purely my opinion, but I hope my opinion comes through to the team.

Yes and v2d sexy would need a full make over to make it look half decent. V2D looks better than that map. Whereas Pines is proven smaller as well as pre-decorated. No-buildings contain annoying tables or stuff because you can just remove them.
