No RCI-demand

[SavageBoy]

First of all, great game! I've always played Sim City, but when I tried City: Skylines, I was blown away!

The problem I have is my RCI demand. It's zero. And as a result, I have a huge amount of abandoned buildings all over my city. I've even tried lowering my taxes to zero, but nothing happened to the RCI demand. Does anyone have an idea about what could be wrong?

Hard to tell from your screenshot, but I'd guess that you have major traffic problems. High crime in some areas, dead bodies not being picked up, and burnt down buildings indicate that your services cannot move around the city in a timely manner. The abandonment problem likely means this has been going on for a while.

I think I have too many dead bodies, but I would say I have quite low crime rate and the traffic really isn't that bad. A few roads has quite heavy traffic though.

I didn't mean that you have a problem with crime, but there are several 'high crime' icons showing in your screenshots nearly all of them near police stations. The only reason they are there is that the police cannot get to them in a timely manner. Traffic problems are the cause of this. Those few roads need to be worked on.

Have you always had that abandonment problem?
It's huge!
Why are you ignoring it? What are you doing to correct it?
Did you just recently place the Eden Project in your city?

You have no demand because abandoned building will re-occupy themselves. So they count as empty zones that are un-built, even though they have abandoned buildings.

So, you have no demand because you have empty zones already waiting to be filled. Once they are filled, then you will get demand back.

Now your question is, why did they go abandoned? What icons were appearing all over your map before it went abandoned?

And no, traffic is bad right now because everyone is dead

Post a save of your game and we can look at it and tell you more what your issues may be.

Are you by any chance pumping sewage into your freshwater system?
This lookes likes way too many abandoned buildings + dead bodies for a simple traffic jam issue.
