BREAKING NEWS: ASHVILLE METROPOLIS BREAKS THE 500,000 POPULATION BARRIER!

Ashville Metropolis has been growing at an astonishing rate, blowing past 400,000 yesterday. It just blew right by Coastland Metropolis, which is now closely behind Ash. with 440,000 Population. Incredibly enough, it JUST reached the famous Half-million mark, which is quite a hard enough mark to achieve.

Wow...Just unbelievable. Last update it only had 300,000 and now it's at HALF A MILLION?! That's CRAZY! Anyways, I'll tell you all now, there ain't no way we're catching up to that monster-ville over there. It's growing way too fast! That city Dennis has going is insane...

By the way, he gave us more info on this monstrosity of a city, here's the interview from this morning...

A lot of us, the simtropolians, and aspiring mayors want to know, how on Earth did you do it? How did you break the Half-million mark so fast? Can you tell us?

"Well, first off, it wasn't as easy as it seemed. The hard part is traffic, and our down town was GRIDLOCKED by the 400,000 mark. We had to widen the downtown roads, but I didn't want to demolish buildings. So I repaved them as 4 lane medianless narrow avenues. Here's the before pic:

And after:

The traffic's still bad, but at least they're movin.'

Here's some more images of Ashville from last night:

(7:45 PM) Down town on the bottom of the image, and I-45 exit towards the top of the image.

(8:16 PM)

(9:35 PM)

I also noticed that after building the highway exit there were 20,000 cars commuting to Coastland Metropolis and Highlands for work! I had to Widen I-45 to a 10 Lane multi-highway and I gave the exit ramp a good upgrade. I don't know if the other cities are going to widen their stretch of I-45...

(6:33 AM) Dawn arises upon the city as it neared 500,000, today the new exit ramp would be upgraded...

More images of the new exit ramp:

Are there ANY medium/high wealth houses in your city AT ALL?

Not that I know of...Besides, low wealth is more dense and easier to work with.

Now look at all those low wealth houses, if you upgrade them to high-density, you'll hit 1 million, and you have so much more room!

Yes, but I'm not stupid enough to do that, it'll cause a demand plateau. I'm already messing up the environment as I know it with the industries, I don't want to screw it up any further.

Besides, traffic's not so bad, see? What do you think simtropolians, this city's traffic system is awesome! See:

Plenty of green roads!

I hope you're aware that you're risking a lot, especially with the environment. Your city's traffic, well lets see what the people think about that...(Comments below)

Hey y'all I'm back! Woah, what's that picture above, a cardiovascular system or something?

(Dials phone)

Mayor Dennis Brown: "Hello?"

Mayor Dennis, it's jack, I just saw your traffic map, and seriously would it kill you to at LEAST build a damn monorail system?

But I don't want to demolish any buildings!

There will be NOTHING to demolish when everyone abandons your city from traffic! Look, do you want to reach 1 million or not?

Well, yeah...

Hmmm, How about this, we'll let the people of SIMTROPOLIS decide, we'll set up a poll!

That'll work!

Alright citizens of Simtropolis, you decide, should Dennis Brown build a Monorail system that connects Ashville to Coastland Metropolis or not? Let us know, and vote!

Anyways, to end this update, here are some plans to Widen Coastland avenue to a 6 lane boulevard and same with the highlighted avenues:
