===Housing=== As you continue to play Civ 6 you'll run into some unique gameplay concepts, namely the idea of {{Housing}} [[Housing]] in your cities, or how {{Food}} [[Food]] works for your {{Citizens}} [[Citizens]]. For example: Each of your cities has a "housing limit" that can be understood as a cap for your population. When a city's population reaches the number below the housing limit, the city starts to change, growing 50% slower, and once the housing limit is reached, it will grow even slower and stopping or declining soon after. To increase your Housing, you'll need to have access to fresh water by building your city next to [[Rivers]], [[Mountains]], [[Lakes]], [[Oasis]] or by building an [[Aqueduct]]. Whenever a [[File:Icon Settler.png|20px]] [[Settler]] is selected, the non water tiles in the map will be marked as one of the 4 colors: <span style="color:#800000">Red</span>, <span style="color:#5d5c5d">Grey</span>, <span style="color:#3b803b">Light Green</span> or <span style="color:#005800">Dark Green</span>, showing you the best options for water in which to place a new [[File:Icon City Center.png|20px]] [[City Center]]. If you're still having Housing issues, you're best off to build the [[File:Icon Neighborhood.png|20px]] [[Neighborhood|Neighborhood]] [[District]] which will increase your housing based on the [[Appeal]] of the [[Tiles|Tile]], regardless if it's Breathtaking or Disgusting.
