So, according to the latest in Seattle 2072, that city, 62 years from today has a population of 3,000,000+ and covers several counties.

According to Wikipedia, that city, 1 year ago, had a metropolitan population of 3,344,813. I thought populations grew, even with VITAS and such, especially since Seattle supposedly had all those NAN refugees and such. So then, what's the deal here? It's a larger "city" area, but the population has actually gone down significantly.


Secondly, Seattle, which is reckoned to have a great emergency response and hospital system currently (also according to Wikipedia) has 11 hospitals servicing those 3,000,000+ people, while in 2072 it has EIGHT times that many.

So my questions are, what would your explanations for these facts be? How many people do you think would actually be living in the Seattle Metroplex with the area it covers? What's up with all of those hospitals?
