amenities system itself is very strange. why only 4 cities can enjoy a particular luxury? it has no sense.
and how population size is connected with consumer goods? reality is, poor countries are more populated and grow faster.
You are right ... in real world, amenities do not limit city growth but rather direct streams of immigration.
However even cities in 3rd world countries usually have access to cheap consumergoods from international trade, cheap food, water, electricity, TV, cell phones, internet ... (civil war areas excluded.)
People living today in average (worldwide) have 10-20 times more spending power than people living 200 years ago. Increase in spending power can be seen as increase in wealth and amenities.
