O man this is such poppy.
This is a bug that needs to be fixed and I hope you put this in the Live bug forum.
I ask that you tell tiggs about this, as she can pass this knowledge on.
O and this effects the people in the town as well because they may not have a city if they don't help out :/
yes I did and I did a /bug..everyone needs to do a /bug
I am mayor of a level 5 city with over 600,000 per week costs, I managed to fiddle with taxes enough to bring the deficit down to 100,000 without hurting any individual's bank, now this happens and our income has been almost halved.
dev's plz get on this !

I hear ya I have a metro with 189 citizens and 310 structures and a 610k a week hit on maintenence
With sales tax bugged property tax has been the primary source of income. Income tax is capped at 2000 so we are screwed until this is fixed
You would be better served by chasing down new, more active citizens to bolster your taxes rather than bemoaning the loss of money from citizens that quit ages ago.
If your city cant survive w/o the tax money from essentially dead people, then your city is too big and needs to downsize. Either that or do what I suggest and figure out how to revitalize (and I also suggest that if you find this abandoned building thing a dead end, then your city needs more progressive, creative leadership)

Look, you have been milking these abandoned houses for property taxes for a long time, and now the gravy train has stopped (no more free money)

ok well we know who is clueless here and that has neve been mayor.
Do the math, there is a hard cap on income tax that will not cover city maintenence, but my guess you wouldnt know that since you just want to troll and insult people.
Taxes come from multiple sources and no one tax can pay the maintenence.
Where do you get off saying we are talking about dead citizens. We are not.
You sound like you believe politicians make money on their cities.
Since you have no clue at what you are talking about go back to your sand box and bury your head back in it

Scoooter, I think that was uncalled for. Sure he used language that was a little less than tactful, but that's no reason to flame him.
Regarding this issue, though, I think that the property tax bug will be fixed shortly. Perhaps even tonight. I can see where it would cause mayors some concern.
No it was perfect reason to flame him.
You don't degrade a profession that takes a lot of work and have no clue at what you are talking about.
He took no time to explore what the issue was about, took not time to find out what it takes to run a city and what the challenges and the constraints are.
He needs to think before he posts
Politicians make no money on their cities and fight to keep active citizens and spend a lot of tiume replacing inactive ones. All in the premise of keeping a lively fun place for the citizens. To make their game play more enjoyable.
