Behold a successful 40k Hive City as it should be built.
40k hive cities only need to do two things: encourage breeding by the billions, act as a strong point and port. Magnasanti is... Different. Fixed population. Everything is balanced.
Still, that is kinda what Magnasanti does. The population is literally at the maximum that is possible.

Hive planets have the advantage of three dimensional space.
They have the disadvantage of nobody taking the time to properly plan them.
Christ, if the power of the Imperium was behind the Magnasanti project...

At that level of planning and organization with Imperial resources they wouldn't be Hive Cities, they'd be Hive Mini-Dyson Spheres.

Actually, since Forge worlds are basically hive worlds, but maintained by a bunch of logic based machine people, this probably exists in some capacity in the Warhammer 40k universe.

Rolemaster: Arms Law. It's like documentation for a roguelike I'd like to play but it's written for the tabletop.

It all depends on what level of sanity Magnasanity deems important.

(In the interview the guy points out that Magnasanti doesn't have anywhere to work.

The people on yahoo news are AMAZED that the ACLU is "finally promoting liberty", instead of the promoting "unAmerican liberal values", because the ACLU made a statement that the background check expansion proposal poses a privacy risk for gun owners and is ambiguous enough that ordinary people may accidentally violate the law of it were passed.
