Hi guys, I was wondering how I could move my wealthy citizens (zone highlighted in red) to the industrial zone (zone highlighted in yellow), I want to start to build different high-tech industries, and in case it's needed, I converted many on the zone to high dens industrial zones. Going back to the high-wealth residential zone, some buildings appear to be abandoned and some wealthy citizens are unemployed. I already built a subway line but not many citizens seem to use it, and the demand for citizens is quite low from what I expected. Not only that, but the air pollution is so bad in the industrial area that it's all marked red, I tried planting some trees but they make little to no difference, how can I improve the air quality in that region? -
Hi guys! I've played SimCity 4 for years since it is published and 3 days ago, I started again. Game's version is 1.1.640, I have NAM and high tech industry demand fix. I know I have to establish some neighbor cities in order to grow much more easily and I planned my region in that way. The first neighbor city would be an only manufacturing and high tech industry city, then I would subsequently incinerate some garbage from other cities. I've made seaport for exporting, everything was what it had to be. The problem is that when I make a neighbor city, it doesn't help my starter city in terms of growth and demand. Instead, for this case, it "steals" the industry jobs in the starter city while decreasing high tech demand and ultimately, the total high tech industry job is still the same in the region as well as the residential population. I'd supposed that the neighbor city will create "new" jobs and this will increase residential demand starter city so that the population may grow. In the opposite case, neighbor cities do not offer more than a larger place, which means people can easily build self-sufficient cities. Is my assumption wrong or could anyone tell me the logic behind the neighbor cities? Another strange thing is that the manufacturing demand in both cities is negative and does not increase a little bit even if I reduce the tax to zero. Moreover, I can increase manufacturing tax to the maximum in the starter city and the population does not change, they don't abandon the city. What's the problem here?

I feel like I've done it before, but I'm having trouble in the city I'm currently working on. I don't have a university, but plenty of community colleges and a high school. Education is maxed to four, all of my industrial buildings are medium tech, but I only have one gear in the education menu. Is it possible to get all high tech industry without a university? Maybe ground pollution is the problem? I'm on seven game years so pollution is pretty bad under my industrial sector.. Any ideas? Thanks!!!
