Only One Year Without Government
drocca posted a City Journal entry in What Happens when you Withdraw All Government Services?
January 4, Year 41 - The city has changed significantly in just one year without government services. Potholes are appearing in the roads, and the once vibrant stadium is decaying after a year without maintenance. By every measure, Kuzcek is a worse place to live now than it was just 369 short days ago. The mayor rating reflects this, dropping by about 20 points as conditions steadily worsen. Population has dropped by 11 percent with an influx of R$ Sims failing to balance out the mass exodus of R$$ and R$$$ Sims. About half of the R$$ Sims and two-thirds of the R$$$ Sims left in this one year alone. Average income has dropped by nearly 40 percent. In fact, the population dropped even more initially, reaching about 26,000 in April/May before rising again. Surprisingly, commercial population dropped little, though the balance has shifted to lower wealth levels. Similarly, dirty industry has been barely affected, but over half of the high-tech industries have fled. Health and education are still relatively strong, you can't undo 40 years of good governance in just one year. But the population has shed about 40 EQ points and its life expectancy dropped by almost a decade in just a year. Fires haven't been much of a problem; there was one fire on April 7, Year 40 that burned a small dirty industrial building. Crime, on the other hand, has become a major problem with the city undergoing a major crime wave. 27 crimes for about 34,000 people, that's bad. Here is a statistical breakdown, before and after Total Population: 38,168 -> 33,942 Residential Breakdown Before: R$ approx. 19,000 / R$$ approx. 15,000 / R$$$ approx. 4,000 Residential Breakdown After: R$ approx. 25,100 / R$$ approx. 7,600 / R$$$ approx. 1,200 Commercial Population: 21,726 -> 20,370 Commercial Breakdown Before: CS$ approx. 2,600 / CS$$ approx. 4,200 / CS$$$ approx. 1,500 / CO$$ approx. 7,900 / CO$$$ approx. 5,600 Commercial Breakdown After: CS$ approx. 3,500 / CS$$ approx. 4,400 / CS$$$ approx. 1,400 / CO$$ approx. 8,000 / CO$$$ approx. 3,200 Industrial Population: 7,065 -> 4,408 Industrial Breakdown Before: I-D approx. 2,300 / I-HT approx. 4,800 Industrial Breakdown After: I-D approx. 2,300 / I-HT approx. 2,100 Crime: Approx 1.5 per month / arrest rate 95%+ -> 27 per month / no arrests Commute time: 23 minutes -> 43 minutes Power usage: 10,110 kWh -> 10,188 kWh Water usage: 67,116 cu m3 -> 68,688 cu m3 Air Pollution: 95-100 -> same Garbage: approx. 14,000 tons -> approx. 15,700 tons (I suspect about 1,700 tons has gone into the streets) Education: 183 -> 145 Life expectancy: 90 years -> 81 years Average income: Approx. $62,000 -> Approx. 38,000 Budget: $18,645 income / $14,999 expenses -> $16,797 income / $2,352 expenses Funds: $688,833 (expected to be approx. $700,000 by Jan. 1, Year 40) -> $883,324 Mayor Rating: Approx. 75 (9 bars out of 12) -> Approx. 55 (6 bars out of 12)-
