  By doady · Posted: 1 hour ago
  
  Low occupancy is a reflection of low desirability rather than low population. For any building, residential or commercial, if you increase desirability it will increase the amount of occupants. You don't need 120k jobs for 120k population. It's more like 1:2. My current city has 190k people, 110k jobs, no problem. But even so, the amount of employment land will be disproportionately high compared to residential land. Job demand can be fulfilled easily enough even with the low max occupancy of industrial buildings, so mods that increase double or quadruple industrial occupants may have unintended effects, and completely unnecessary anyways from a pure gameplay perspective. Ultimately, the game is in an unfinished state, and only so much we can do about the bugs and unbalanced gameplay. The issue with high density is even one new building can fulfill demand too fast, and thus create negative demand. Looking at your city, I don't see any obvious corridors for commercial zones. This is also one of the central tenets of Transit-Oriented Development: minimizing the distances of residents and jobs to major corridors. Establishing strong corridors means carefully zoning and laying out streets and major roads. One important thing to note is intersections increase travel times, so assuming you have any pathfinding fix installed (such as NAM), commuters will naturally gravitate to major corridors that have fewer intersections. Likewise, you can find ways to make it less convenient to travel on side streets.
