Remember when one of the issues wee found in Beachville was that the garbage trucks went literally nowhere and just disappeared after driving around for a bit?

Guess what? That's still a thing. Even in as big a city as this. I've literally flown all over and there's no city dump or scrap yard or anything. Garbage trucks just vanish with our trash.

So...don't throw anything important out I guess. Or do. I don't know. This place is irritatingly weird. I dropped my FluxPhone in the back of one of the trucks just to see what happened and it was back in my pocket two seconds after the truck vanished.

Just...putting that out there. For anyone wondering about the trash trucks. And? Stores still relocate themselves overnight. It isn't as many as Beachville, nor as often. But it happens like...occasionally.

I might need you to explain because I'm not following, entirely.

I just mean we have all these brick buildings but I don't see a quarry where they're getting stone or a... brick building factory or whatever they're called

But just all the raw materials to make everything in the town and the factories to make stuff, it's not all here but the things made by factories are here

Shit. You're right. Cities like this usually have places that sell what's needed for building. I haven't seen anything like that.

And I don't recall ever seeing a place for cement trucks and other construction equipment.

Bingo. Also, how many people live here versus how many jobs there should be?

And that’s not a hypothetical I've been meaning to do the math but... ugh, math

There are quite a lot of people in town. Not counting children, it still doesn't seem like enough jobs. But people are happy.

Which for a city? Kind of a stretch.

Right? Super suspicious but I'm not sure what to do about it.
