@lashman I now fully understand why the first game is just "13% tax bad"

For anyone needing alt-text for the rest of the image:
Welcome back to the second dev diary detailing the changes coming in the next patch. If you missed it, check out the first part here. Today we are covering a few important changes not directly related to the economy and we’ll go over what you can expect when loading up your existing cities.

Highlighted Section begins:

Let’s start with Rent
. Most likely you have run into complaints of “High Rent” in the game, so let’s talk about it. To complement the Land Value changes in patch 1.1.0f1 in March, we have tweaked how Rent works. First of all, we removed the virtual landlord so a building’s upkeep is now paid equally by all renters. Second, we changed the way rent is calculated. For those interested, the calculation looks like this:

Highlighted section ends.

Rent = (LandValue + (ZoneType * Building Level)) * LotSize * SpaceMultiplier

Continued in reply.

Rest of the image text, continued:
This of course affects the “High Rent” notifications you may have encountered, but we’ve tweaked those directly as well, so they are now based on the household’s income. That means that even if they currently don’t have enough money in their balance to pay rent, they won’t complain and will instead spend less money on resource consumption. Only when their income is too low to be able to pay rent will they complain about “High Rent” and look for cheaper housing or move out of the city.

Besides rent, households and companies need to pay for the building’s upkeep, which in turn affects the level of the building
. When they pay the full upkeep fee, the building condition increases by a constant amount until the building levels up and the tenants start paying towards the next level. Similarly, if they cannot pay it, the building condition decreases by the same amount until it’s in such poor condition it collapses.

@lashman BUILDING UPGRADES UNLEASHED

From zoned buildings automatically leveling up to the City Service building upgrades you choose and place manually. While this update doesn’t directly relate to the Economy 2.0, it shares the same patch and deserves a little spotlight. Gone are the days when you had to bulldoze the entire building to remove, or just move, an upgrade. Now, all upgrades can be removed by selecting the building, finding the upgrade in the Selected Info Panel, and clicking the bin icon.

@lashman all apartments are now co-ops/competently run condo associations

@lashman Wish the real-world devs would remove landlords and turn apartments into resident-owned co-ops.

@lashman they don't seem to lean into it so much though. I don't know their inclinations but if it were me I'd defo say something snarky

@lashman lol. This is why city builders bug me lately- we could be making beautiful cities but we're stuck in this paradoxical imagination of wanting our dumb systems to work. See also traffic and parking simulations. Maybe this should illustrate that roads/cars aren't the best way to connect your city's places eh? But I'm on a tangent from the post about simcity and parking lots

@lashman @tomwwolf You got rid of landlords, but now you have co-op boards. Not sure you’re better off.
