High Tech industrial abandonment

[jammoe 0]

Hi.

I have a city on a large tile with a population fluctuating around 180 000. I have the NAM and the Industry Quadrupler. The city's doing fairly well, but I have a common problem of industry abandonment.

I have all the dirty and most of the manufacturing industry in a small neighbour city. The main city has a lot of high tech industry and some manufacturing. The recurring problem is that I regularly get large scale abandonment of high tech industry buildings. This is with very high demand. At first I thought the problem was garbage, and that might be part of it. Now I'm thinking it might be traffic, because the industry quadrupler really strains roads.

Any insight?

I just tried a couple things. The traffic according to the "congestion" on the data supply is as green as can be, although noise might still be a problem as it's high capacity. There is plenty of garbage and power support.

I tried getting rid of manufacturing industry around, thinking it might be polluting. It seemed to help for a moment - and then stop helping.

It seems like the problem is recurring. What's really troubling is that the abandonment says it's due to "low demand", even though my high tech industry demand has been fairly high for the whole period.

I sometimes have this problem and planting trees or even building parks, if possible, helps. Check the desireability for High Tech. Otherwise, sorry I couldn't help.
