Ok, I am playing my turn now.

Diary,
Despite my recent political pissing match with the "Fearless Leader", I have somehow managed to be placed in the position of city administrator for another year's term. I expect that this is simply a means to an end for him. Most likely he is hoping that I will screw up in some spectacular fashion, and he will no doubt use any such opportunity to have my assets stripped.
Be that as it may, I fully intend to do everything in my power to improve efficiency of our city. Far too many of our citizens remain "Permanently" housed within the tavern, and this is all at once an eyesore, a blot on our city's reputation and image, and a cause of continued disagreeableness from the fearless leader.
My first task, therefore, will be to build suitable lodgings into which to move our stonemason, and thus move his workshops closer to the mine in order to expedite the creation of raw rock blocks.
After that is accomplished, I shall begin construction of "Very dense" tract housing.

Diary,
The elven caravan arrived today. Reviewing their wares, I see that they have a black bear sow for sale. That's about all that is of interest in their caravan, as they seem hell-bent on offering us their inferior quality wooden armors, and copious quantities of fruit. I dont suppose it ever occured to them that WE ALSO live in a forest, and have copious abundance of both wood, and fresh fruit. Elves clearly are not very good merchants-- Though I suppose they may be hawking wares that are actually intended for another stop further away from our lovely city's limits, where such items are in higher demand.
While perusing their goods, I noticed that they have THREE KINDS of surface plant fiber being used in their vile homespun rags. Do they bring any seed bags? Of course not. Offer any unthreshed plants for these textile crops? Of course not. The pointy eared bastards are toying with me. The hemp fiber sandals especially vex me! Those elves have hemp weed, and they hoard it all to themselves! (I could make a fine flavoring from the unopened flower buds of this fine textile staple, and use it to make a powerful calmative when brewed into a batch of beer! (At this point, I am willing to try ANYTHING to get Koreg to chill the hell out. His latest setup to make ME responsible for curing an incurable condition of werecreature syndrome afflicting one of our citizens who now must be permanently sequestered in the stockade just BEGS for me to ply my herbalist arts on him. Maybe when he is so relaxed that he cant get out of bed in the morning, he'll get off my ass-- But DAMN these elves! Hoarding such powerful plants all to themselves!)
Construction of the new housing for the stoneworker continues briskly. Koreg's improvements in the mine to include a minecart has improved ore and stone delivery rates to the surface, which has improved stone processing efficiency by quite a lot. However, there is still a significant footpath between the stoneworker's yards and the dropoff from the mines. Soon that shall be rectified.
