The concept behind this game is great but, as others have said, it's very poorly executed and seems to have been abandoned by the developer, despite numerous complaints. The economy and politics are very unbalanced. The cost of services and improvements makes it impossible to improve your city without going negative, every time. I realize there are some people out there who like this kind of challenge but there are others, like myself, who like the more casual gaming aspect of a game like this. I can't imagine it'd be hard to implement a difficulty setting that would adjust the formulas and make running a succesful city just a little easier.
