Excellent, thank you!

Excellent reply, thanks. I forgot to mention, each of these cities I am having these issues in are either Oil or Coal/Ore spec'd. I should even destroy the grade schools? I've never thoughts of that. I figured there would just always be grade school aged kids in the city.

Thank you for the reply. Just to be clear. When I upgrade to have a large fire station for example, I should close the small ones? Thx

Hello. I've been playing the new Simcity since launch and have played all previous version of the game as well. So far, I am liking the new game however, I have been scratching my head on a few things. I was hoping to ask here, bounce them off of you other smart people and see if I can't better understand what is happening and what I can do to fix or prevent in the future. 1) Unemployment & Not enough workers: The biggest issue I am having right now is unemployment. I'll take my time building up R C I zones and things go great. Then, without any apparent reason, I hit a big unemployment spike, get a lot of homeless in my parks, abandoned homes and such, This confuses me because I have this happen, even when I make no changes to the city. I can have a thriving city and I'm just watching it on 2-speed, then.. boom, homeless in my parks. Any suggestions? (speaking of parks, I also noticed when I mouse over some parks, they say too many homeless. But when I open the park, my homeless count is 0) 2) Water / Waste: Oh how I loathe these. My advisers will constantly say I need more water or my sewage pipes are backed up. However, when I open up the specific building for either water or sewer, the meter is green. They tell me I am making excess water or have excess room for sewer. Bug? Also, my water tables are good ye some buildings show no water. Does location of the pumps & towers matter in relation to the buildings? 3) Service Vehicles & Buildings (Police, Fire & Clinical): I'm still having traffic issues with my service vehicles. I read it was fixed, but it doesn't seem to be, I try to place all my service buildings on divided roads. Even then the fire chief is always yelling at me that service is too slow.. Clinic is where I am having the most issues. It seems if even one person is in the waiting room (ie: 25/25 being seen, 1/25 in waiting room) I get yelled at that I need to improve my health services. How many clinics are you placing? When you build up your city hall to allow Police Precincts, Hospitals and large Fire Stations, do you close the smaller ones? Police: Here's a funny one. Maybe this is a bug I dont know... Jail Cells. In one of my cities I have 2 police stations and a precinct. Each are maxed in jail cells. The Precinct will be for instance 12/75 jail cells used, but the 2 smaller police stations are max capacity and I'm being told they are releasing criminals due to the lack of space. Why aren't they being put in my Precinct? I think that's it for now.. Thanks for your help in advance!
