The statistics overlays are nicely cone.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I guess it's hard to fine tune a simulation like this within the time given. Getting cash is ridiculously easy and people with high commute time won't move at least a little closer to office buildings. Removing all roads seems to be the way to go to get your population really going. ^^ Then lower the tax rate to the minimum of 5% and you should be well on your way to a population of 10'000.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The CPU load hit on this was interesting.
