Maybe the issue of overpopulation and overdevelopment is a clue to where Perplex City is. The Northside development suggests that living space is at a premium -- but why should it be? We've heard nothing about the actual size of Perplex City, except that it's relatively large. Why not continue to build outward? Maybe because they can't build outward anymore, there may be an actual limit to how far you can build (due to some sort of natural barrier). I suppose it could also be an issue of territory. The Sentinel has reported that Perplex City has a defense force, which suggests that rival cities exist.

Yes, I'm veering a bit OT here, but it's something to take into consideration.

Remember DInah . . .

I noticed a "Caldera Drive" and the height of the Ascendancy Point and thought they lived on an island like Japan, volcanic and tight for space. I emailed Scarlett and she auto-responded.

I do like the theory that PC's on a space-tight island...

[SPEC] I'd thought it was possibly a matter of perplexians taking nature and conservation very seriously - a green belt (declared some years ago, when the present overcrowding problems weren't expected) starts at what is now the city's edge. They've built as high as is feasible and/or desirable and now people are calling for construction into the green belt, such as the Northside region.[/SPEC]
