Step by Step Guide
Shacks popping up everywhere? Despite your best efforts, you can’t get rid of every single one and you’re sick of shacks between beach villas ruining your tourist paradise?
Here’s what you should do:
- Check the residency overlay and if every residential building in a housing area is green, then you’ll need more housing there.
- Understand the citizen a.i.: people rather live in a shack next to their workplace then walk across the entire island! Creating affordable housing near workplaces. Bus stops and metros help to increase the distance from workplace tolerance level.
- Be aware that there will always be broke people unless you heavily invest into the social systems. There will be unemployed and old people that are broke.
Okay, so for the third step, it’s worth noting that the student population will have limited financial resources. During the Cold War phase, I tend to construct a tenement building, and set its maintenance to the lowest level. This is often placed near a fishing dock. Individuals with low income will go to the fishing dock to obtain food resources.
- Create housing that broke people can afford.
That can be bunkhouses or conventillos on the mode that enables broke people to move in (“let it rot” it’s called for conventillos). - Remember the 3rd step. People with jobs prefer paying 0 rent if possible. To avoid non-broke people moving into your rent-free buildings you have to construct them far away from any workplace!
