You're Hired! | NATURAL and SMART Growth

Another great update! I think that for the first question the redevelopment would benefit the city as you can never really have to many jobs..!
If the traffic gets too bad, maybe invest in an underground subway system, or some other sort of space-saving rapid transit.
As for the second question, the development should be allowed, as there will be more income from taxes. Maybe we could invest in parks and areas with trees to help avoid too much environmental damage.

 I agree with samerton. what if you could build a highspeed rail line throughout the corridor? Although it would take up some space, it would be very fast and easy to use...

 i agree with samerton to a degree. a passenger rail system would benefit the area


however, i dont think that we should reclaim land from the ocean just for the commercial gain of a city. with the tremendous size of the commercial offices in that area, my guess would be that the land reclaimed by the earh won't be safe for long. in fact... it will be more prone to landslides and unfixable slow sinkage. the commercial office can always be expanded east-westerly instead of southernly ( towards the ocean). 


however, if you feel that you absolutely must expand south- then you need to set a giant set of breakwater islands, just incase a major flood happens. it will people downtown just enough time to evac properly. this can be done 1 of two ways :

1. a set of seawalls along the coast

2. "God moding" strips of raised land ( about 1-2- squares in width) about 600-100 feet ( 5-11 squares ) out away from the area of hazard. you can also run rail ( monorail) against these strips of land as long as they have been built to withstand the weight. this will also decrease traffic flow.


Remember this other advisors:

when Mother nature gets pissed, we all end up like NEW ORLEANS 

Great update once again, this is one of the best interactive journals here or in SC4D.

For the first question i agree with samerton, the area should be redeveloped and also a subway or perhaps a cheaper and space-saving tram system should be build.

For the second question i think we shouldn't reclaim the land, as it could pose a serious threat for the animals and plants in the sea. 

I agree with CIUU96 on the second question. Reclaiming the land would pose a huge threat to the local wildlife. Anyway, for the first question, a redevelopment would be nice since it adds more jobs to the ever growing city of Old Waterauga. Also, I agree with CIUU96 again with the tram system. Not only would it save space, but it would de-congest the QEW.
