Really? Zone density has nothing to do with road type. Many times you will see 20 storey residential buildings on streets, not avenues. Yes, road type determine maximum density of the zone. But unlike sc4, you have only residence, commerce and industrial zones, not three of each kind with different density. So if you have road which support high density zones, those zones next to it can be anything within low to high density. Its like building only high density zones (with no cost for some reason which is part game is so easy) and then make sure road is good enough.

I played beta few times and after that I installed sc4 back. After that I found this site. No, new SimCity isn't bad game. I like the new zone system, the way zones evolve density and wealth, like in real life. But the problem is that the game is too easy, like societies was. And city sizes are really small, so it felt like "Hey, try to get all the achievements and build many small fun different cities" -game for casual players. For those who actually want city simulator, I suggest you stick with sc4. I would recommend new sc for those who like easy city building games like sc societies.
