Slums?

[Orinsul]

So what if there could be a district policy or set of policies that would restrict access or priority of a service to a district, in exchange for removing demand for it?
Currently if a portion of your city has no police presence for long enough, its get abandoned due to crime
If it has no garbage collection, it gets abandoned from that and etc.

But what if you could set up districts that had no expectations of ever getting those services. So they wouldn't be abandoned from the lack of them. They just, would never be attractive to rich people, would generate the lowest taxes, everyone living there would have lower health and be unhappy, never upgrade buildings, generate more crime to the rest of the city and with the new DLC, maybe be more inclined to catch fire.

So you can have slums, to contrast against the rest of your city as the does the march towards wealth and progress that all skylines cities seem to do?

I do like this idea, in a sense. The game currently models primarily Western/Northern European cities (with their own standards of social welfare) fairly well, but modelling anything like Nassau, Rio de Janeiro, or Baoding is pretty much impossible. In that sense, I think it could be something set in the options menu, which amenities are seen as a standard of living.

This would be interesting! I have heard that they did something like this but could not quite make it perfect.
