NOOB requires help with demand

[whiteshark12]

Hi. recently I moved one of my cities into a new region. however, this instantly reduced demand for industrial and commercial to nothing or lower. I quickly moved it back to the original region, but the problem only got worse. this graph is the same in nearly every city in my region now.




CO$$ and CO$$$ has recovered quite well, but not everything else.


Any help will really be appreciated. its driving me nuts

Seems like you've encouraged too many rich people to move into your city.
Even the richest work places, IHT and CO§§§, employ more R§ than R§§§, and above all R§§.

Raise the taxes for R§§§!

The economy was fine before i moved it, sio i dont see how that affects it.

It's not about economy, it's about desirability.

You've created a city that has all the needs for wealthy people, thus they keep moving in.
Your city is simply too good, land value is too high, for low-wealth people to move in.

However, there are not jobs enough for all those rich people...
Thus, they quickly pack their things and move out again, leaving their houses abandoned.

This is a pic of big city tutorial during first play

EXACTLY the same graph as the other one, minus all high wealth citizens ( may be 40 or so, but you get the point).
what im trying to say was ive got the same graph in every city, but the only thing ive changed since friday is i moved a city out then back in.

Demand can be raised by increasing desirability. Taxes being the easiest one to manipulate.
Looking at your demand graph you have a huge demand for R§ and R§§, and not so much for R§§§.

Despite that, I can see mostly R§§§ houses in your picture, and they are the ones being unemployed.

If you've got my Census Repository Facility,Version 2, I'd like to see a snapshot of its query report.
If you haven't got it, download it here, once ST is up and running again.

I think you're doing fine (Not referring to graph). Next time though, don't export city to a new region but make a copy and use the copy to put in new region. Believe me, I've tried experimenting with copying cities to other regions (I wanted demand with all R$$$ and high wealth commercial demand and I-HT) . I can't say how demand works technically but explaining it normally, what I do know is that if it has neighboring cities, the demand will be greatly affected (Going down most or maybe all the time) since the city is interdependent with the neighboring cities.

You need to shell out the R$ and R$$ demand, that's the best way to get the commercial demand to kick in (more people = more demand for jobs). It seems you don't like skyscrapers, but I think you should use high density zones. As for the industry, do you have a university because that will boost your Industry demand. And RippleJet is right, tax the rich lol.

If that doesn't work, you can always cheat and use super demand
