#1 If you are playing Sim City and your Sim citizens are leaving, it means you are doing a crappy job of running a city. I suspect it works the same in Baltimore.

#4 Heuweltjies (termite mounds of SA). Some as old as 4000 years. They come, and they go.

#6 Since 2010, the city has lost 27,280 residents, shedding more than 4% of its population, according to the estimates.

Lost could mean anything. How many were murdered? I was going to guess one fourth to one third of them, but the actual number for that stretch is 2,395 (excluding 2019 - no official # yet), so it's a tad under 10%. So they have that going for them...

#7 Welcoming new people should be a top policy priority of the city

Grayhounds at the border? Just wait till you are a minority again who don't speak Spanish.

#10 How many shooters in SimCity?

If I remember right, in the game there are disasters like riots, fires, and The Orioles.
