I cant seem to get rid of the high rent tags on my residential and industrial sectors. For residential Ive tried adding low cost housing but i dont know what to try with industrial.

Have you raised taxes? How is your demand for those sectors? I have found if you have high demand and aren’t building, it pushes up the rent for them instead - more demand = increased rent. Low cost equivalent won’t make a difference if the demand is for say low density instead.
If I recall correctly this is also the “trick” to get demand increasing for medium and high density. If low remains high rent / in huge demand, eventually it prices a lot out and they start demanding medium or high instead
I did fiddle with the taxes but im not really sure how I should allocate. I cant tax by density, only by education.
I’ve never played this game, but I am both amused and horrified by the notion of tax rate depending on education level.
I play this game and was horrified when I saw that. Seems like a mistake. It’s really taxing them by income level, as education is what determines income level.
The biggest challenge I face is getting people to go to elementary school. I think 15% of the population is uneducated and 60% is well educated.
Can’t you make it illegal not to, like in the USA?
I think the problem is that they try and drive to school but they get stuck in traffic for a week. Traffic flow in the city is really bad. I’m working on public transport networks now.
Yeah I meant just taxes generally for residential etc. You have lowered them, which should alleviate some amount of it.
Rent goes up due to demand and how “nice” the area is, access to healthcare etc. You should be able to drop rent simply by building more of that density residential. The same with just building more industrial
