Looks good! Of course, now I see the things you were talking about before,
overlapped buildings and windows on corners. All because of the closer look.
Amazing what size does to details. Probably helps that I use only a smartphone
or 15" notebook. LOL

I sure wouldn't be too concerned about repetition; city buildings are
themselves, more often than not, are like a series of sameness all over. Yet
again, that would be probably be about size and amount of details visible I
guess.
Keep thinking anyhow, always fun to create.
