After the police reforms of the 1980s the crime and drug epidemic came to a halt and the economy of the city became healthier. Mayor Emilo Desantis called for expansions to the Greenfield budget to provide for new employees in the city, and to improve connectivity. The city added 3000 new employees to the city, primarily due to the redevelopment of the North Of Market and Little Kyoto districts. The yellow subway line also started construction in 1993, but halted due to the 1994 Greenfield Earthquake. | |||
During the 90s the demographic of the city shifted. The port of Greenfield would expand, International trade would lead to hundreds of thousands of jobs in the Greenfield metropolitan area. Aerospace and vehicle industry would shut down, and industrial areas like Barons Bar were in a steady decline. Desire for residential housing in the downtown area would lead to gentrification. Historical commercial buildings would be renovated into condos, and construction of highrise apartments & condominiums were started. | |||
