Update Twelve: April 18th 1906

It was a bright, typical day. The sun just rose; people were waking up all over California. People who were getting ready to go to work and make a living. San Ramon was no exception.

Suddenly, while residents were preparing for the work day, the San Andreas fault shifted. A Violent shake dropped people to the floor in much of San Ramon. The Earthquake didn't just drop people, but also embers from stoves and heating systems. Many fires broke out along Main Street.


View up Main Street after earthquake.

The steeple of the Church collapsed onto Main Street, blocking the North end of Main Street. One of the smoke stacks at the Power Plant imploded; sending debris onto the new extension Rail line, and the South end of Main Street. The Power Plant is now non0functional.

Luckily, the new Processing Complex fared well in the quake, no major structural damage in any of the buildings.


Despite the damage, San Ramon fared well. San Francisco wasn't as lucky. Much of the Financial Capitol of the West was destroyed by the quake and the many fires that it caused. San Ramon is already getting offers to provide lumber for the reconstruction, we must help those in need.

The Proposal

We have to repair the damage caused the the earthquake. We also must increase lumber production to provide wood for the rebuilding of San Francisco. So today we will propose a new lumber mill, all the options are teh same; just different locations. Thus what you have to think about is transportation etc.



Choose between Blue, Green, and Yellow.

Usual day, my darlings!

Also, we keep getting more and more votes, breaking previous records. Twenty-Five votes!

This is an entertaining topic, I hope it doesn't die. Blue.

[Frontrox]

Yellow, we could use that blue spot for something else.

Bridge made, lord.

Yellow; More trees, greater space, and it isn't too close to the town itself (Though still a reasonable distance for commuters). c:

Also, poor little church. :c

Yellow.
It's close to that processing plant, and the train could just stop there on its way to the city from the plant.

[Caution]

My god this looks great. I'm jealous of your skills.

Yellow.

Update Thirteen: December 1906

Rebuilding was quick and swift in San Ramon. It was handy that we had stockpiled a lot of building supplies for new projects; this allowed us to repair damaged buildings in only a few months. Within these few months, we had also constructed a new lumber mill. This is doubled lumber production for the rebuilding of San Francisco.

Looking through the trees at the new lumber mill

A Fire had destroyed all the houses on this block in downtown. We didn't rebuild them due this block's prime location. We need to decide what to build here.

The Proposal

Today there will be color options to choose from, for we are just looking at what to build on a single spot of land. This plot is in the center of town; and we have a lot of civic buildings that will eventually need to be built.


Look through this list of buildings and what they do, then vote.

City Hall: Regulates the city, and increases efficiency in the Court and Office system.

School: Offers education for the children of San Ramon, making them more likely to get a good job. Increases efficiency in Office system.

Retail Sector: Provides nice social jobs for the people of San Ramon, increases sales for our factories.

Office Sector: A variety of offices would increase production, sales, and desirability for factories. Also offers higher paying jobs.

Please note that any of these options could be built somewhere else and later; but only if you guys talk about them.

Usual day for voting. :3

A Sunny day in San Ramon.

I included this as an easter egg on my clan page just for honors :D

Saw it, loved it. :3

OP will be updated with new information involving all these "Let's Build!" topics.

I'd have to vote for schools; We already have efficient offices and a great abundance of jobs, making the retail sector and office sectors a bit inane. And while City Hall would be my second choice, education is a key factor to thoroughly develop a town.

Granted, this can be both good and bad. With a good education system, many would be able to find good work and advance themselves. Of course, this may also mean a population increase due to families entering, wherein more work would need to be created and more resources be used, but I suppose that's the point.

Besides that, in a time period where many, unfortunately, drop out of or don't go to school at all in order to find work, this would give Sans Ramon a good opportunity to be a step ahead of other towns and maybe even assist them in the future. That is, if we have a good educational system. But who knows, maybe a little Ramonian may enter office in California and reform education due to the influence given early on. C:

......But now that I think about it, maybe it would be better to build a City Hall. An awful lot of folks do drop out these days to pursue work, what would make Sans Ramon any different? And if there was an influx of population, we would need an efficient court and governing body. Hm.......

This is a hard choice. Why the very future of our dear citizens are at stake. Maybe I'll think it over a bit more. :s
