    The low income housing issue you have isnt a bug. You probably put the low income housing in a spot with too high land value or you have too many low income residents and not enough buildings for them. Either of which drives up the rent.

      Yes maybe. It just felt weird cause my entire city was fine with rent except specifically the low income housing. It might be because I placed it next to a college, but isn’t that kind of the point since the game says students want low income housing.

        Low income housing is basically a poverty/homelessness backstop. Lower rent than anything else. Completely uneducated or unemployed need it. Nobody else wants to live there, including students. If it has high enough land value that it gets the warning, that likely means that it costs more to live there than in alternatives throughout the city. Which makes it a useless building.

        Ive had success with some low income towers shoved into a spot with gaps in service coverage, no parks, high noise, etc.

          Pretty sure the tooltip specifically mentions students tho. So it doesn’t seem like it’s working as intended. But ya I’ll just throw them in the shitty parts of town.
