Major news from Pacific city! After years of neglect the citys last two underdeveloped areas are seeing construction. Mount Washington will become a semi suburban area with a small urban core consisting of small gambling halls and midsize office towers Mount Washington area plan phase 1 this consist of mostly middle class housing that is within commutable distance from downtown Phase 2 is the Washington estates development a low density upper crust transit oriented neighborhood centered around a train station for quick commute Phase three is the urban core which is giving the area the title of secret city because of the fact that the urban center is hidden by mount Washington. Keep a look out for the next blog which will cover The amazing tail of a pacific city area where the lack of centralized zoning has made the area the second biggest job market within city limits.

I only moved 3 blocks down the street but the living conditions were so much better. But my bills were starting to mount so I started going to community college at night. I would love to get a nice middle class job so these bills wouldn't be such a pain. As my live was changing for the better so was the citys. 6 months ago the city got 4 casinos to move in town and ever since the city has been growing rapidly. We even have a stadium in the airport financial center. This is how downtown looked when I moved here but boy does the skyline look different now! Many new office buildings have taken shape in downtown and condo towers how poped up along the waterfront but downtown is the only section of the city to change. My old workplace was torn down and moved inside a much larger hotel on brakeston avenue. The area is now the most congested section of the city due to gambling, workplace commuting in the area and also commute traffic to downtown brakeston moves through the district making it completely stop. This the headache I go through everyday to go home. Its safe to say that the city has taken a turn for the better crime is down citizens are prospering but sadly the city gambling economy was easily bested by downtown pacific. We are even seeing some of our citys residence going to downtown pacific to gamble. At the moment the city just doesn't have the investors to compete with theirs so we are falling behind. I think its time I paid another visit to pacific city....

I remember when I saw the first tower rise, I never thought this town had a chance. I lived in downtown pacific but rents for those of us lower class are horrid. For ten days I lived in my car hoping that work would find me some how. What I didn't know was that I was one of the last low income residents in pacific city. There were no jobs for me because the citys employers were not looking for a low income workers. Most employers were not even looking for middle class workers! Anyway as the story goes I was sitting on the street just about to give up hope when two of downtowns upper crustmen walked past me. They were having the most interesting conversation about a city called New Brakston. One was rambling on about how the city should have merged with pacific city and how it is now a low class crime filled wasteland. The other man argued that the city was a investers dreamland because land was so cheap. Cheap... that's the only word I needed to hear, after six days of breakdowns and headaches later I found myself with a job flipping burger outside the pacific city international airport ( The city made a deal with new brakston to build a international airport because of land prices and density issues) Soon enough I found a affordable residence it was not much to look at but it was home. One day I heard the citys first middle class townhome was about to be completed. I had been saving for sometime and I had enough money to move...so I did. But the night I fell asleep in my new home is the night the citys economy woke up....

That's why I hardly update my CJ, I barely play the game as there is not much to do after filling up a small city tile. Now that I have filled in the tile of my dense downtown I will try to pack as many specializations into it as possible. Because the tiles are so small it is a challenge but it keeps me improving that one tile. And now that I am doing so, more people than ever are coming into the tile which means I need to find new traffic solutions or else my coal plants cant power the tile because the coal delivery trucks are stuck in traffic two tiles back. There is always something to do even if you have a well established city.

Major news headlines from simnations fast growing coastal paradise. Osha has broke free of downtown pacifics commuter hold. It now has the third largest financial district within city limits. Although the area still has a number of residents who commute to downtown they are mostly centralized in the areas waterfront and doltons transit villiage. The town of Dolton recently merged with pacific city and is now been labeled the Dolton district. This is the growing Dolton transit village, this is doltons most urban area. The transit village formed around a train station leading into downtown pacific. The Dolton districts industrialized downtown has gotten much cleaner since the early years of osha and now hosts the largest education district in pacific city. The biggest headlines are coming up next! Osha joins the condo club Osha has the hottest waterfront condo market of any of the pacific city districts. The district has had more than 12 condo towers built in the last year. In downtown pacific.... Skid and assoicates investments have announced the purchase of 5 propertys along downtowns waterfront. The propertys were part of downtowns recently disbanded historical district. The buildings have been torn down, 2 new malls and 3 new condo towers are under construction on the old sites. The plan is to bring more traffic to waterside avenue and eventually creating another high density commercial district. And now for the biggest announcement The Callahan canyon has been in habited by a small town called new brakston. The town has plans to merge with pacific city. The merger would give town a chance to form its own economy and to not become a street car suburb of pacific city.

Its that time again! Now I will introduce a new area of the city! (once abandoned) Welcome to Osha a mixed use redevelopment! This small suburban section of the city has a 12k population. It was once a massive industrial center but pollution and debt caught up with the area. The area is now mixed use with restored forest and green areas. A small separate town lies in oshas cliffs, The town provides oshas power and holds a light industrial park. Osha carries on the legacy of pacific citys massive waterfront with a flurry of residential towers planned along its beaches. The area plan also calls for many transit oriented developments around its small commercial district. Commuters would have options such as bus and train to downtown pacific. But at the same time this area is 38 miles outside downtown, could there be a chance for its own commercial growth? The area at night.

Thanks guys! I have just gotten hold of a new piece of land from someone abandoned the area. Here is my next post! Pacific heights had a firestorm just as I loged into the city The morning commute home on highway 2 was interrupted by the blazes. Traffic was a mess but there are other ways to get into and from Downtown Pacific... A lucky sub division has a train station only seconds away in walking distance. The station was much more crowded today than ever before So in the end the blood that makes this city go round managed to rest for bit!

Welcome to pacific heights, a suburban coastal section of my city This small section of the city has 16k people who commute mostly to dt pacific and graysmith ridge. Two subdivisons in a rural area of the city From this view you can clearly see highway 2, the only freeway that links dt pacific to the rest of the region A region wide population boom has caused my skyline to boom there is no vacancy anywhere within dt limits or in the heights. Everyone here has a job but that's not enough. To stabilize the citys economy I will need another 70k people in dt or commuting into dt....I don't know how a achieve this but.... dt also has budget issues so I cant attempt anything just yet....

Thanks this is what I did, I have 3 areas o grow out my city. And I have one person who is actually working with me on the region!

Welcome to Pacific city.... This city is only half the size of my last but somehow has a larger office market. This is the only real area of the city that is developed ( i made the game public which was a mistake because i have areas where people just claimed land and never really developed areas) This city is still in (terms of economic power) is a baby. stay tuned for more developments on the city ( fyi city is on america west 2 server under the name pacific city)

Im sorry for the delay but my citys are acting up. 3 have vanished. so until it gives me a option to roll back or i find a way in. i cant do my cj Im researching the issue now to find a solution but it will take time. If anyone knows a method to recover the citys please tell me.

New borough established! The ashton area was once a green pasture near suburban cinder.City gov as decided that more housing close to dt is need. So they came up with the ashton pasture area plan. The plan calls for a phased high density residential community providing enough units for over 100k residents. The first phase calls for low desity homes to fill the area phases two requires every piece of land to be filled with mid density units. Phase three requires nothing but high density developments.Giving the dieing downtown workforce a new blast of air. The city was not prepared for the major influx of super tall office buildings. Not enough workers were in the area so most are dieing from a worker shortage but no more! The answer is here! POP 10,894 In a normal business day over 300k people can be in the city working on top of a 98k tourist and that number could grow to be over 600k with this new delevopment. How will Grandville highways sustain traffic no boroughs are connected by rail and even so,jobs are everywhere in the area and would make for a long walk. buses are a reliable option but budget issues prevent that measure. So far now the city will jus turn into a congested nightmare like the compton/avronton area.

Hi simtopians i just wanted you guys to be able to view my Grandville region. Origin ID citykid510 Heres is the link to the city journal of Thanks for your time!

The man moves his finger to a location north and says in awe (as he is a tourist hiself) thats downtown. i move my head to the direction his finger points to. My view is still obstructed by the metal wall then it hits me The metal wall is downtown grandville! Downtown grandville population 180,456

In this post we will follow sim joe through downtown? This borough is inspired by some cali citys L.A Otown,now lets get down to it! POP 56,956 ( Sim Joe:As i arrived in the borough on monday morning i had the annoying activity of heavy traffic to look forward to.The citys freeway turns into a avenue with many stop lights. I am greated with finance district that has been named the stadium financial district. A project that involved the gentrifacation of the aquas stadium area. The project involved mid to high density housing luxury offices complexs and new street renovations. The project changed the boroughs skyline forever) ( Sim Joe: Wow when they gentrified the area the sure missed some spots. This is the south centrion area nothing really special here. But i do think its wrong to kick people out like that not a good start here....) (Sim Joe:Hmm so this is the famed brooklyn basin,Holds most of the boroughs population and the famed oldtown grandville. Im liking the looks of the borough now,and the people are so nice. The spirit of the people here is so powerful!) (Sim Joe:This must be the another faimed landmark, embarcadero bridge is a bridge that links the brooklyn basin to the central financial district and placer blvrd (old grandville) The bridge has views of port grandville and the grandville bay at large. Wow i really like it here now all these landmarks are nice the dining is great and the skyline makes me smile) (Sim Joe: This must be oldtown grandville the resturants might not be 5 star but they have been here since the start,and i love the charm of the area. My tourism guide says the tower ahead is called tribute tower i think this may be the place i settle down in!) (Sim Joe:Next i took a heli-tour of the the skyline amazing,but not as large as i would have expected for a city the size of grandville. I cant wait to work here. But if this is downtown why were there so many cars heading out of the city towards that big metal wall? Why build a giant metal wall anyway?) (Sim Joe: This must be the airport financial district wow look at that stadium! But why put a giant airport in downtown would that restrict building hieght?) Random street person:Downtown? Sim joe: yah why build a airport in downtown of all places? Random street person:um let me see your tourism guide...Where did you get this from? Sim joe: A pawn shop in cinder,why? Random street person;This is from 1950,63 years ago this isnt downtown anymore.... Sim joe: Then were else could it be?
