A couple of years ago when I started my Shadowrun campaign, I told the players that the entire Seattle metroplex has instead of the printed 3 M people, 10x as much or 30 million. It seemed to make more sense at the time, it gave more places for runners to hide, and it painted a bleaker picture of the future. Aside from that, I didn't make other changes to the setting.

Now that I am coming back to the game, I would like to explore Seattle with 30 million people a bit more. What things would change from the official setting, and what would stay the same?

If anyone has any experience with living in a 10+ million city today, it would be great to hear their feedback.
