In 2028, Pleasantview was shaken by both an earthquake and an alien assault. The effects of the earthquake were largely confined to the community of Franklin, which was heartened by the fact that its signature clock tower withstood the calamity. Though no power plants were disturbed by either disaster, the city government began to phase out its nuclear energy in favor of microwave plants.
AGH! I HATE WHIRLPOOLS!

I just
REBUILT that bridge from the earthquake!

With the arrival of fusion plants and the spaceport, the game's 'tech tree' is fully realized. There are, alas, no more new buildings in store for me and so I will probably leave Pleasantview in search of younger cities.
Pleasantview is economically powerful and regarded as the region's healthiest and best place to live, despite its problems. No neighborhood lacks its own parks, schools, and libraries. Crime is a persistent problem, and has haunted the city ever since it legalized gambling. Distressingly, the problem has not been remedied by strengthening the police force: complaints of police abuse are common. Although gambling is much of the problem, crime is most severe around the airports. A sharp decline in overall power results from rapid population expansion within the last few years, as the sitting mayor pushed for a population of over 500,000.
Known as the old town, Ward 1, Precinct 1, City Center, or just "the isle", this is the oldest portion of Pleasantview. Once upon a time there were naught but small factories and run-down homes here, but the 15 decades which have passed since then have been kind. Traffic on the bridges exiting the island used to be nightmarish, but the city finally managed to bridge the river with two subway systems which connect to the entire city's subway grid.
In the center: the University district. Across the river, mixed-density residential and commercial neighborhoods, with a scattering of high-tech firms and the Carl Sagan Science Center.
The oldest area in town: City Center and the Industrial Sector.
High-tech firms, the airports, and the military base.
The other side of the river, during a THUNDERSTORM. Lightening flicked from the clouds, and one is depositing what appears to be rain. There are some interesting neighborhoods here: luxurious villas on the hillside ranges at the top, and neighborhoods whose names escape me near the bottom. You can see Franklin, though.
The overwhelming majority of the city's residential and commercial areas. What's left out are the industries, airports, power plants, and incinerators.
