My city has hit 300k population and i was managing around $50k-$75k income at one point. Then my Home Filing Rate fell under 50% so i started putting in Health and Education which dropped my income to around $50k while making my zones all green. Now i started adding in security and now i'm losing $4.4k income. I don't have a problem losing money now because i have $168 million in the bank but this is my concern so i don't end up going bankrupt sooner or later. What am i suppose to do to keep their satisfaction high enough so that the filing rate goes up without breaking the bank. If it helps i only have Unskilled and Skilled in my city as i haven't added Executives and Elites yet until i get the map filled with Unskilled and Skilled Class. All my zoning up to this point has been Low Density for everything and some Medium Density Retail. This way i keep the Executives and Elites out of town until i'm ready to add them into my city. For roads i have all Small Roads in Residential and Heavy Industry and some Roads for Offices and Manufactures.

yeah ive been playing for days and i've been using 2x2 zones for everything with mostly small roads and some roads as i build up my city. I'm currently at 300k population on wetlands. So far the citizens still complain about roads having heavy traffic, however its not many roads as i check and most of the roads are fine thanks to my 2x2 zoning.

I use to play alot of SC4 and the highest population i was able to manage there was around 500k (in a small high density area i might add). The one thing i didn't like about SC4 was the traffic issues as even with NAM it was still a traffic nightmare. I recently built a gaming pc with an i5-4690k with a 290x Tri-X and would like to be able to get really population in CXL. How does CXL Plat compare in transportation, traffic, and high population to SC4?
