Issues with people wanting to work in cities next door

[jcspartan117 0]

First post on here, so please bear with me lol...

I had a city of about 175,000, packed in there like rats, however, for some reason or another, its like the end times of my town are upon it!! even though I have full funding for hospitals, everyone is on strike, and i have made towns next door to this one that focus primarily on commercial buildings, but I cant seemt to "entice" the people without jobs ni the large city to go work in the town next door...this has resulted in a drop to about 160,000 population.  Is there anything in particular that i am doing wrong?

you may just have to build more hospitals if the densities are that high. Often 1 hospital in an area is just not enough. In the densest part of my city i have 4 hospitals in a clump to handle the capacity.

Have a look at this for a start:

Make sure you have REALLY good connections, lots of high capacity roads, Mass Transit. Also about the Hospitals, if you look at the Building Query you will see the following "Patients: (Amount of Patients)" and "Patient Capacity: (Number of patients the hospital can take)". If the amount of Patients is higher than the capacity, they will strike =/

maybe you could post a picture of your city, and a picture of your region. That way we could see if there's something wrong. A picture of the traffic network in your region would also be helpfull

Then why aren't mine?  They jet out of the city at the drop of a hat.  I've had roads so clogged I didn't think anyone could get through them, but off they go!  I'd much prefer they stayed in their home cities but apparently the grass is greener....
