- ginko 12y agoFrom my European perspective SimCity actually misses several city planning tools to reduce homelessness. The most important being the ability to build public housing and set up social services.

- rsynnott 12y agoSimcity 2000 used to have subsidised housing and homeless shelter ordinances, which reduced crime, though you never actually _saw_ anything. It is weird that they've never tried adding a public housing mechanic; it could be quite interesting.
- hueving 12y agoYeah, building a new housing complex would take years to attempt and would likely be shot down by some lobbying group either because it didn't have enough low income housing or neighbors were concerned about the bad energy it would give off.
