Re: Downtown core population- hits 7000. People moving downtown
Between that track and the ones around it, the entire DT-MT areas are booming..
What surprised me the most are by how much. That and the growth throughout the entire city. Only a few tracks lost people, the urban infill in the city has been paying off in a big way
