IMO waste management in this game is far too simple.

It could be simpler - where's the "put it on a slow boat to China" option?

Trinity Islands '50:




The islands have grown well, and are almost entirely developed by now. In the past ten years a college and waste incerator where built. There was another fire at the gas plant, but it was quickly put out:




The mountain has become home to many nice neighbourhoods:


But the northern Island remains the most popular place to live



The old garbage dump is almost cleaned up now, and construction of the airport is expected to start within the next five years:

El Dorado 2050

Not much news. The city has apparently hit its peak. 2046-2050 were notable for commute problems, with many buildings abandoning because their landlords' commutes were too long.

Because we couldn't well afford to plow through downtown with an elevated highway, or dig up a billion dollar hole of a subway, we had to use innovative practices to fix our situation.

For example, in a few locations, we tore down old, dilapidated, abandoned houses and apartments, and rezoned for Industrial: since it was still in a good part of town, it became high tech industrial, and a few citizens found jobs much closer than what they had been after. Maybe this mixed zoning will be employed at a greater amount in the future.

The Military Industrial Complex finally became complete. After decades of long drives out to Mergdale, army brass no longer have to get on the road to watch their toys blow up--a Missile Range was built directly north of Area 51.

That's one huge military industrial complex - does it cause a sea of red in desirablility?

Also, where can I download El Dorado 2050?

Yes, it does. Especially Area 51...nothing will develop in the areas I've planted trees in. I'm convinced of it.

But hey, it's like a thousand dollars to the city every month. How much commercial or residential development would it take to equal that revenue in that one location?

EDIT: Forgot to post the save. Will do so shortly.

El Dorado 2050

[EPW]

Not much is happening in Epwood these days....Theres simply nothing left to do. But there is one final project that the mayor began to undertake, to replace the Industrial Sector with commercial Zones. This transformation would provide more jobs and income. The Apolyton Building was constructed in the middle of the Manufacturing complex to begin the process.

With that Nuclear Power Plant sitting in front of the airport runway, let's hope it stays that way...

2/3rds are updated , so on to 2055!
East Central 2055
A rather uneventful five years here also due to budget limitations.

To deal with the growing garbage problem, a new Incinerator was built, quickly cleaning out most of the landfill.

Trees have been planted to deal with the resulting jump in air pollution.

Meanwhile, new high tech industries are opening up both in downtown and outside satellite cities.

It is not known how much longer up-and-coming Galactic Overlord Schmoonich can wait for his rocketship, though, so the next five-year-plan calls for construction of a new technology satellite city.

The new TV station, on the other hand, has attracted an entirely different sort of industry.

Determined to get the grittiest and most sensational headlines on the 11PM news, the East Central branch of Faux News has builts its own chemical plant next door, providing both a backdrop for newscasts, a set for reality shows, and a place to "retire" independent journalists and media watchdogs.

The Show Must Go On!

Over the years 2050 to 2055, El Dorado has fixed, to tremendous benefit, problems that plagued the fair city.

The first improvement is a work in progress. As old fashioned, dirty industrial concerns are slowly shuttered in the East, they are filled in with commercial zoning. After the appropriate land restoration, which is speedily done because of the heavy demand for commercial developments, new properties open in a geographically beautiful part of town that will only appreciate in value.

[mrmitchell]

Police and medical services in El Dorado have been totally revamped. Every facility in the city is brand new.

Hospitals were relocated to the densely populated parts of the city out of Cherry Vanilla Park, which has drastically increased ambulance efficiency. Also, the freed up land in Cherry Vanilla Park is now enjoyed as true parkland by our nature-appreciating citizenry.

New police precincts were drawn and stations were built. The city now hosts three large stations and a small one near the Dead Zone. Crime has dropped by more than half.

Trees have been planted everywhere where development has not already occured.

Finally, in a sign of how much El Dorado has grown, new reports say that the Mrmitchell Bridge, an icon of the city that rises out of the riverbanks to connect El Dorado and Mergdale, can no longer handle its increasing capacity.

It is not yet determined whether the Bridge will be replaced or an extra crossing will be added. Already, most other road bridges in Taipei have necessitated adding avenue-wide crossings nearby to handle excess traffic...

I'm having connection problems, so I can't stay on long enough to upload this save. Will do so tomorrow hopefully
