Does anyone know how big the files tend to be for a city? I'd love to make this into a mobile game so everyone can explore the world when bored.

Unfortunately you're not allowed to ship these files with your game. They have to stream directly from Google's servers for each user (caching is allowed as long as you follow standard caching rules).

A chunk of Manhatten I extracted is about 30mb glTF, but 7mb with all compression options in gltf-Transform (https://twitter.com/Omar4ur/status/1657361031763578881). But this is not the highest resolution available.
