After installing and having my first building grow I noticed that the number of jobs is 314 for the KFC AnW. Is this correct?  %confuso. So I lotploped the rest of the new restaurants and took a look. The Jack in the Box has 763 jobs; Sonic Drive In has 471 jobs and so on and so on. They are all very high job numbers. Do I need a special occupancy permit? What does the simcity fire department say about 427 people in the Mcdonalds? $%Grinno$% Other than that they sure look nice! :)

This is a "problem" coming from the floorage Maxis defined per person in low-wealth, both R§ and CS§.

With only 10 m² per worker, you do get a huge number of jobs in all such buildings, compared to any real life ones.
The same phenomenom can be seen with R§, which was dicussed in relation to Bixel's Hong Kong towers.
Only in the really undeveloped parts of the world would you find areas where low-wealth people cram themselves into 12.42 m² living space per person.

If we want realism, the way we know it in the modern western world, in the buildings in the game, we shouldn't make them low-wealth.
A McDonald's of today would rather be a CS§§, with 40 m² working space reserved per employer.

We decided to keep kevdan25's buildings as CS§, since generally speaking there is a shortage of custom CS§ buildings for the game.

Thus, remodding these with the "X" Tool (i.e. giving them property values in line with in-game buildings) also meant increasing the workforce, but at the same time reducing the garbage accumulated, which has been a big problem with old CS custom buildings.

If a kevdan25 would have given me his bats for modding today, I would definitely have made them CS§§ though. ;)

Good answer. ()stsfd() I was thinking that it was as you just technicaly stated. I will just hire extra parking attendents and make sure the local police can get in the door at Dunkin Donuts. Thank you for your work on bringing this fine group of buildings on line. 

Actually these will go will in my larger industrial cities that have Massive low wealth complexes with populations above 80,00. Of course bad diets bring up another problem.
