Another thing you can do is build normally, but tax the bejeezus out of R$$ and R$$$. That said, even if I use this to turn over entire city tiles to R$ exclusively, I can never get the R$ demand significantly down for my regions. I've started to think of it as sort of a meaningless meter -- rather than meaning "R$ want to live in your region," it means "R$ would totally live here, if they weren't priced out of the market by R$$ and R$$$."

I've been having some trouble getting the sc4m file for a specific region (Houston_Fan's "Los Angeles and Region", at https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=18815) to render in the Terraformer. Basically, what happens it that my computer crunches on it for a while, and then generates a big block of nothing but land. Someone else on the comment thread for that map said they were having the same problem, but no one there has replied since. Has a similar problem happened to anyone else with sc4m files? Basically, I'm at a loss for how to determine whether this is a problem with my Terraformer install, with the sc4m file, or with both. For what it's worth, at least a few people on the comments thread seem to have gotten the region to render properly. Apologies if this isn't the right forum to ask this question.
