Monopoly City Streets

Ok that was fun... but new topic.

Monopoly City Streets [Website]... my newest time-waster. It has a lot of faults as a game, but there's something strangely exciting about "owning" my neighborhood.

Which brings me to my delima: What makes this game cool is that it uses Google Maps, and you "buy" your own streets. Thus, the "coolness" factor is in owning my neighborhood...

The problem is, your ability to make money is limited to the amount of building you can build on your owned streets, and naturally the longer streets allow for more buildings. Well, my neighborhood doesn't have any of the super long streets for purchase. So what do I do? buy up my neighborhood, or start buying "local" streets that are long, but don't have any particular personal connection to me?

Isn't buying those other streets in direct conflict with what makes the game interestingly "cool"? On the other hand, how do I reconcile not doing well in the game if I stick with the "coolness" factor?

Seriously people, this is an important decision!
