And most of all, build new cities in each state to facilitate recovery from the Great Depression. Some states, such as in the Midwest, California and Northeast, get more cities owing to geography, land sizes, better Civil Rights records, most especially New York, California, Pennsylvania, Ohio, New Jersey, Illinois.
With that, may I ask, is it possible for any of those planned cities, barring any major disaster in the US or in any other country, have a population of around five million by 2018? I wanna settle this so that my TL can be as realistic as possible. Thanks!
