This is the same text as my upload to America Online Maxis PC Software Library. **************** New Monroe Bay is the Beverly Hills of SimNation. When clicking on "land value" in the map window, you will find most of the land colored dark gray or black. Clicking on the "value" button in the graph window will tell you that the average city block is worth $260K+, much higher than any of the cities I've downloaded from here. The city is full of green, has low crime rate and limited pollution. There are seven launch arcos where most of the population resides, and "the rich and famous" sims have built luxury homes, condos, and apartments all over the city. The industries are heavy on aerospace and electronics. The subway is excellent. The EQ is 110+. And the mayor's rating is high 80% and sometimes 90+%. The city has only about 500K sims, because high density lowers property values. Improvements I like to see: Since only a small portion of the population lives outside the arcos, it is difficult to change from an industry based city to a commerce based city. To maintane everything, the city spends a lot of its income. It's net income is only $3K. It took me until year 8000 before I could get it right. I had to swap ,residential and industrial zones a couple of times. Since no cheat was used, sometimes I just had to wait and save up the money. Mail me any comments and suggestions. Thanks. MacBruins
