Limiting high-wealth residential

[WillG_75 19]

I am considering doing my first vanilla SC4 city in ages and I need advice on how to keep all my residential from turning into high-wealth? I know about making every third house historical, but I recall an easier and more effective way.

You can use a blocker to stop Maxis R$$$ from growing.

The one I use is here:

But, I see there is also one on the STEX which I'm sure works just as well:

Be sure to only copy the one file for R$$$ to your Plugins folder.

 There's also this one, that just blocks the mansions and leaves the condos alone.  I use it myself and it's great. 

You say you want vanilla though, so you probably don't want mods.  In that case, stick the high wealth taxes up to 20% and they won't grow.

Do you mean with respect to light zones? Because if you just deny them water, low and middle class houses will still build without water. Once you give them water, they spring up into mansions.

If you mean with respect to larger density zoning, I would go with a mod one of these guys ^^ posted.

You sure that middle class develops without water? I thought it was only low class.

Middle class can build low density without water.
