Makes the amount of money Paragon City spends on giant granite hero statues almost seem sane.

The inactive parts can be explained away as being part of the Red Line.

The Red Line was the third monorail line in Paragon City. The line was badly damaged in the Rikti War. Parts of it were absorbed into the other two lines, the Yellow and Green lines. Other parts can still be seen in their damaged states in places like Boomtown. The most visible remaining sign of the Red Line is the monorail cars themselves, all of which still bear the signage of the Red Line.

This is what 3700 heroes in a single zone looks like.
Thanks to @EnsonsDeath for the GVE code that made me VIP again!
I am fully convinced -- and have argued elsewhere -- that the faculty of the Paragon University schools of Architecture and Civil Engineering are in fact secret adherents to the Evo Shandor cult. I furthermore believe that the building design and civic planning of Paragon are based on inhuman patterns of logic and are... INTENDED TO BRING ABOUT THE END OF THE WORLD!
As a brief side note...
Are we related?
We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

The reason his licence was not revoked is that said skyscrapers can be knocked 30+ degrees off of center and still stand. Evidence is in zones like Boomtown, I believe.
Not only that but, with enough jacks and lifts you can set it back up straight and salvage it. Evidence is in Faultline.
Based on a comment in an earlier thread (on the lack of connection between the Yellow and Green lines), I spent a few minutes hopping around Skyway City, mapping out the monorail lines. There are four of them:
1) The Yellow Line. The track runs between Atlas and Kings Row by a convoluted route.
2) The Green Line. The track presumably runs between Talos (via an impossibly thin tunnel) and Faultline, although it does not visibly pass through either War Wall.
3) An active loop in the south-central area that goes nowhere, but with trains running on it.
4) An inactive track running due north-south between the Yellow and Green stations.
