Breaking: Administration officials have announced that Xemptoworth will be flying out to the Western City-States for the opening of the Empire's efforts to make cities more walkable.

(Xemptoworth): "Walkability and eco friendliness is what we are aiming for by SY2043. Net carbon emissions should be 3% by SY2055. The goal is to make communities happier by introducing more pathways and to close off inner streets from cars unless you live in that block. It takes 7 street crossings to get from Capital Center to San Juarez Federal Park. More than 200 people a year get ran over just on that path alone. By closing streets to all but residents on a block, you get less crossing injuries per year. The Western City-States have a combined 150 million people living within them, so crossing streets can be fatal."

FENN did a study and found out there are more crossing injuries in the City-States than in San Juarez by 315%. Most blame the compact spaces and lack of room Vexto, Lopex, and the others have to offer.

More later.
