With taxes the way they are, I'm focusing on increasing my city's popularity in order to get new citizens like students who contribute to the tax relief and get some income that way instead.
In order to do so, I'm looking at cheap buildings that improve the popularity of the city and if I remembered correctly, the Ice Cream Shop and Music Stores are two of the best value for money ones out there. So I bought another 4 Ice Cream Shops. Hopefully that improves my chances of getting a new citizen which is currently super low at 2% now. At one point it was in the double digit range so not sure what went wrong there.
Otherwise, the city has been in a very stable state and I am just looking to reinvest the earnings into new buildings periodically when I check in. A lovely low maintenance game.
