Crime.. what to do

[fastnoc 1]

I keep getting more and more criminals no matter how many police stations I put up.

 

Look at this screenshot and tell me if there's even any hope.

 

What should I do? I can keep adding police stations but it was up to 5k negative on income and I am trying to keep it relatively even

do you have a casino?

they come from other cities..do the other cities have police or education? if not they have to get them as well

or get the big policeforce and send police/prefentingforce to those other cities

I have one small casino to bring in income to support the services. Maybe it's costing me too much in crime to keep it though. it's making 40k so I didn't want to kill it. but if the crime is going to overcome it's income than it's not even worth it.

Good idea tho, i'll shut it off.

 

Does it look abnormally high though? thank god it's hard to get in the city and I rely on freight trains and cargo ships to pick up oil (although i still run out of storage)

well, I took the plunge lol. 28l negative, two additional precincts loaded with towers and cars. Crashed the vu tower and maxis manor.

 

I suppose as long as the oil income stays strong I'm ok. but this presents anotherproblem.

 

I cant get the cargo ships and trains to come by enough. i have two big trade ports and they house only oil. but they both stay completely full with 50,000 barrels. Since the cargo ships take only half that, and the trains take even less I'm not sure how to get more to come around.

 

Do i have to build cities around it that import a LOT of oil to get things coming by more often?

Maxis Man mission. Either placing Maxis Manor, or levelling Maxis Man up.
