      You can only have one person in an area.

      Bit of a problem if the person was born like lots of people under 50, but especially under about 35, in a hospital that still exists.

                Love these sites where you zoom in and more and more data pops up. Very cool.

                  Edit - zooms on phone, just not on pc
