Ive built a city with infrastructure as the main focus. Used ploppable rci mod to place buildings (nothing below medium wealth and density) without zoning and now I'm stuck at pop-14k with a tonne of open jobs and unsold goods. Services and utilities are excessive, education and land value high, nobody seems to be moving in. Is there something Im missing here, excuse my ignorance i am new to this game

Could somebody PLEASE make a "Plazify" mod. Where you can replace the unfilled grass space at the base of buildings with a plaza or concrete texture. I hate having those annoying patches of dirt and grass in the CBD especially when you can't fit a park in there or it's an irregular shape.
