Cam problem

[cogeo]

That's happened to me as well...
E.g. an avenue that goes out of town does not provide any means of turning back into town,
unless there's an intersection somewhere before the border crossing.

I use this technique too:

its definitly fixed, altho in new cities i still have a problem with it until they grow a little bit,im not sure why... The cam is awesome tho, this is the same city as before, now I have my first commercial highrise in the 5 years of playing this game, i usually give up on a region before the standard maxis stages get to CO$$$ highrises, but i actually got them before i got any residential ones to grow, pretty nice But, does anyone know WHY higher density zones wont develop except where they want to? I wanted to develop the coastline into the CBD area but the commercial and residential districts wouldnt develop, and the land value and desirability were higher at that time along the coast, , only thing i can think of is maybe the rail stations?



edit: btw, no transport in this city other than the single rail line that connects to the adjacent city (currently only 12k ppl, most work in that city, very little intercity traffic) and buses, and no really bad traffic, a couple intersections are orange-ish but nothing bad at all, the advisors havent cried at all

Most probably due to where the customers are.
Commericals (both offices and services) want to develop where there are a lot of customers.
In other words, where there's a lot of traffic! Which obviously isn't along the coast...

the buildings in the north grew around the baseball stadium before there was ANY traffic at all up there, i guess maybe the baseball stadium was what it wanted to push the land value up, even now theres a road thats yellow congestion, has 1200 road traffic and it wont even develop mid-density commercial along that road... just seems strange to me

the baseball stadium

The Minor League Stadium has a landmark effect of +50 over 22 tiles.
Landmark effect is especially good for promoting commercial offices!

Landmarks and plazas also provide landmark effect.
