I made an electronic city. The trade ports and electric were close to the entrance with one highway just going to them. The other branch of the tee went to everything else.I had x2 smelters for alloy plus recycle. I had good public transport.I still imported alloy ,plastic ore and coal. You can sort traffic out with buses and keep population down. I think mine is at 70K and all seems o.k. I had crazy ammount of depots and ports for the 4.5 million in a day trade and electronic upgrades.After I got those I think I had a couple of ports and couple of depots. If your entrance is backed up It will be other cities in region not being self sufficient and sending shoppers and workers over. When I went on population overview most of my sims seemed to walk and take bus.

When I had this I found out that certain hotels are bugged and a constant stream of taxis come out of some of them. I deleted these.I found a road junction near an airport where taxis were also spawning. I deleted the junction and the airport in the end.

I have enjoyed playing simcity 2013 so far. Ok its no sc4 as far as a city builder goes. Its so wrong you could just set tax low and build 100% residential zones. Too many bugs etc. On the other hand I have really enjoyed building different specialized cities in a confined space.It also made me smile when half of my city was full of queues of bright yellow taxis.(Bugged all flying out of one hotel lol). Its still a decent game but no simcity 5 as it was made out to be. Hopefully they will really try sort out all the bugs asap.

This guy impressed me. Seems like he has worked out how to get the most out of your tiny plot.

It has its faults but I have had days of enjoyment so far. Its like a cross between sim societies and SC4 . I kind of enjoy the challenge of building in limited space.

What is the reason for the abandoning? try to solve those issues from the message given. You need trading buildings with industry lots to keep industry going. I usually ignore the industry demand. I have built a 200k city with just R and C and it seems to work ok. May mess things up in a region as I had 500,000 visitors to one city which has destroyed the traffic.

I have 24 hr grid lock out side the city lost a 800K gift. I looked at my population stats 500,000 visitors to my city with no tourist attractions. My tourist city with loads of attractions and venues had 39 visitors. 80% of my population were visitors. I have a population of 100k ish. Another city in the region of 16 has 280k with no industry. I have really come to a grinding halt on this region.
