Okay, I currently has 2 large cities next to each other with balanced demand of all 3 wealth in residential and I've wanted to start some satellite towns around my big cities. But the problem is no matter how good the desirability is the surrounding towns all have skyrocketing demands of R$ with negative demands of both R$$ and R$$$. I would like to know what the heck happened and how can I fix it to make balanced demand?

All demand is regional. So the demand you have in one city should also be the same in another. But the cities have to be connected by road or rail for that to happen. It sounds like the new small towns are not joined to the larger cities. So they are behaving like a brand new city in a brand new region.

Okay, maybe I didn't explain it enough... Yes, all towns are connected by roads, railroads, and ferries, yet almost all of the R$ remands poured into those small towns and those rich people had completely no desire to move into those outskirt towns. Also, the two large cities are right next to each other and are connected by roads and railroad, so are the surrounding towns.

R$$$ Sims do not exactly 'move' into the suburbs. The R$ Sims living in the satellite towns will upgrade to R$$ and R$$$ when education rises, if there are sufficient amenities, high paying jobs, and if there is demand.
