CSS in City

The illustration of the city above is all CSS. There are no images, no SVG, no JavaScript... there isn’t even any HTML!* Here’s the source code on CodePen: (Click on the 1x, 0.5x, and 0.25x buttons to zoom in or out and see more of the illustration.

All of them sized and positioned so they fit within a particular spot in the illustration. This drawing is
