[size=18]Update 15 - A Look at Whitewater Run[/size]

The city of Whitewater Run hasn't been seen in a while. Since then, it has grown. But the east side faces problems with abandonment. Many new arrivals have packed up and simply moved to White Settlement or Goldspire. Some say this is because of the lack of commercial. Others say a new bridge needs to be built across the Great Whitewater River. Still, others say the problem is pollution, while many are saying that it's from a lack of healthcare and education. Either way, all of these problems are serious and need to be fixed.

The west side hasn't been doing so great either. The unemployment rate is at 7.5% and traffic is a major issue. The city has lost 20% of its total population (down from 50,000 to 40,000) in recent years. Something must be done, and must be done NOW, to save the city.



A power centre was developed on the far west end of town. It originally started out as two big-box stores next to each-other, but this then grew into a large, disorganized power centre that's hard to get around. This particular area employs 45% of all residents on the west side and on the east side, it employs nobody, except a few people.


Sprawl has become increasingly unavoidable. As shown by this picture, the middle class is the largest group in the city. Included in the lower class are 25% of Whitewater Run's residents, 65% are part of the middle class and the remaining 10% are in the upper class.


The entire western island is nearly settled with some small wooded areas left to zone. All farms have been pushed back to the west, and a farm community has popped up not far to the west. This will be shown in later updates.

Meanwhile, in Whitewater Run...
