RE: [HoE] Junkers Gear and a minor rant

Why would the cities be the same size they are today?  Are you saying cities
and population would not have grown between 1998 and 2081?  Or are you
saying that HoE in 1998 had a drastically smaller population than reality?

And what if the environmentalist wackos were able to control governments and
force populations into pre-designated "sustainable areas", or whatever they
call it.  What if all populations were concentrated in cities, with no rural
living?

Enquiring minds want to know!

	On the upside, that gives us plenty of room to make stuff up.
	How big were the cities?  Most would have been the same size they
are today.  The really big industrial centers and populace monsters might
5 times as big, maybe.
