i have a question, i am starting a city..we have the people to do it . we have been placing there houses down in the loctation but i heard a nasty rumor that in order to place city hall and zone the location it must be free of houses, can anyone confirm this or give me a better solution...thanks

As long as there is room to place your city hall, you're fine. The houses in the initial radius will automatically become part of the city when the hall is placed. After that time you can enable zoning on the city terminal and no houses can be placed without zoning (or you can leave it off to have a free-for-all).

Good luck!

if i may..

As Khirsten said, find room for the hall, lay it down and the city will be initali started, with the houses inside that city radius will have a chance to join the city, by declaring their residence agin, untill the owners do that, the houses will be nothing but "blocking parts".

My advice to you, make sure you have a city lay out plan before starting to do anything and i'm serious about that part. if you have builded a layout allready, place the city hall accordinly to that plan.

and as Khristen said, Enabel zone rights are gonna save you for alot of trouble
