^You got that right... I've even been scouting out a 2nd video card upgrade, just to make sure my PC is good to go.


So anyways, here is downtown of the main city, another 10 years later (and from the opposite side as before)... During the
past decade, growth accelerated rapidly as the suburban business districts were choked by traffic and height restrictions. A
couple of new transit lines have been added into downtown, but traffic is still doing ok without a subway system...

btw... There are probably 5-6 plopped highrises
of various sizes. (I do this for variety, and thus an added degree of realism by minimizing redundancy)





The metro is now 640k, the center city is 260k, and
there are almost 190k commercial jobs.

And here's the old pic for comparison

As the metro has built up, downtown has blossomed and has doubled in density
in the past 10 years, after decades of suburban job growth far outpacing downtown job growth.
