As the village moved further into the future, new pressures appeared that earlier generations had never faced.
Population slowly increased. Medical care improved, and people lived longer. This created new demands on housing, food, and services. The village had to decide how much it could grow without straining the systems that kept it stable.
Instead of expanding quickly, they created clear population planning guidelines. New housing projects required proof that water supply, waste systems, and food production could support the increase. Growth was linked directly to capacity.
This prevented overcrowding.
It also required difficult conversations. Some families had to wait before building new homes. Some businesses had to delay expansion.
But because the rules were applied equally, people accepted them.
