I have the same setup (except for OS Monterey 12.4) and have the same issues.

I had the same problem, the fix is to download blender 2.83 via steam (instructions on the blender LTS page in fine gray print under download button), then after your city is made you can probably transfer it to a later version. I hope this helps!

[HELPMEPLEASE0011]

Not sure if it helps just tried to track some more info. But still stuck with blank window and nothing added to Outliner window as mentioned before.

I had the same issue on my 14" MacBook Pro (M1 pro apple silicon). I resolved it by installing the Mac-Intel Blender version instead of downgrading blender.

Similar thing happens when importing a georeferenced TIFF file: instead of successfully displaying the GeoTiff, it only displays a black and/or white blank shape.
