You have no workforce. Housing needs workforce to do maintenance, the homeless people are already employed and working all day, You need reduce workforce in other buildings first

[DeathRow]

I don't think its "retarded", remember that housing district have research station, watch tower and other buildings that require employees and you turn those on at same time.

Maybe they should make it so that the basic housing district dont cost workforce so if you turn off the specialty building you can at least turn on the district without workforce.I found this part confusing at first also. But realized it's because i over extended my workforce in other districts.

I disagree. All housing IRL needs a workforce. Either the owner takes care of the job or superintendants, carpenters, masons and othe craftsmen do. The housing that is not maintaned quicly fall into disrepair.

more so annoyed about how unclear that is

Yeah but you must admit it would make sense to be able to "shelter" the homeless without employees and let the district wear go up?
I just think it's a bit confusing at first at least it was for me. But i understand that specialty building like research should always require workforce. But you could turn those off.

Maybe a toggle box that says "shelter without workforce", when it's on the district wear goes up and specialty building are off.

if you can't read three sets of numbers when building a new district, the problem might not be with the game

Or maybe, if you really want more housing districts, you shut down something else to get more workforce.
