TREASURE ISLAND / A CIVIC SIMULATION

WHO KEEPS
THE LIGHTS ON?

Twelve decisions. One island. Unequal reliability.
Run the budget. Feel the consequences.

Checking the 3D allowance…

Walk or drive continuously around Google’s photographed 3D buildings. Street View remains available for sharper photographed street positions. Starting uses one of the site’s limited 3D sessions.

Checking Street View availability…

Explore photographed streets, travel to mission stations, and keep the island powered. Your budget and decisions stay in this game.

Google imagery dates and coverage vary. Mission stations are illustrative gameplay locations. Starting connects your browser to Google and shares your IP address and viewed locations, subject to the Google Maps terms and Google Privacy Policy.

Explore. Repair. Keep people connected.

FROM THE RESIDENT’S SIDE

Walk or drive to a mission station. A household needs refrigeration, charging and a predictable evening.

Other legacy loads: 0.0 modeled interruption hours

Housing isolation is enabled in this baseline.

The express feeder already exists. This switch explores an invented scenario without its modeled fault isolation.

EVIDENCE ≠ SIMULATION

Real place.
Transparent assumptions.

This is an educational management game, not an engineering model, outage forecast, or claim about specific officials’ intent.

What the game assumes

All credits, event intensity, interruption hours, damage points, maintenance decay, upgrade delays and starting reliability differences are invented for gameplay. Each round is a scenario step, not a calendar period. Both groups have the same modeled household denominator; totals are not real outage statistics.

Site 12 is treated as part of the legacy-resident experience. It is not a separate privileged customer class. The map does not assert that individual buildings belong to a particular electrical circuit.

How choices work

Maintenance reduces faults but decays. Modernization starts working two rounds after investment. Backup reduces disruption without reducing outage hours. Response shortens this round’s outages. New-development investment benefits that modeled group only. Defer saves credits, while legacy wear increases each round.

What is documented

The June 2026 SFPUC presentation (pages 4, 7 and 10) describes legacy service operated under TIDA authorization and funding, an express feeder already isolating legacy housing from other legacy loads, and switchyard improvements that reduce some fault impacts. This game starts with isolation enabled; its counterfactual removes that modeled protection. Shared upstream disturbances still affect all groups.

The Navy’s March 2016 Site 12 fact sheet (page 1) identifies Site 12 as the Treasure Island Housing Area. It does not establish electrical service boundaries.
