Anyone feel like there is no demand for high density?

[somawh]

I feel like my city is one giant suburb. I wish I could tax single family homes so that there would be more of a demand for people who wanted apartment living. Everyone wants to live in a home and there is rarely and high density housing demand and idk what to do.

same for me. it's like all i build is suburbs with low density and once in a while 1 or 2 apartments complexes... don't know whats going on.

Low density demand is endless. I've built multiple suburbs and the demand didn't lower a bit. This started happening after initial high density demand

what's the education level of your citizens? just wondering, because i remember it being a factor in CS:1

Seems pretty realistic to me lol.

I don't have this problem. I zone low residential in 2x2 blocks mainly, to improve the density, reduce taxes to uneducated and poorly educatet (4%, 6%, 14%, 16%, 18%); though I regularly have high demand for low residential, I don't think I have to fulfill it every time the bar goes up.

Mostly high school, there hasn't been enough time for graduation from college yet. Seems weirdly balanced, by the time citizens are educated, the whole map would be filled by low density boring suburbs.

I was also thinking this but most of my citizens are high school educated

ive unlocked so many new building tiles and all my city wants to do is have more low res housing UGH im like 6 hrs into gameplay and i dont have a single high res building bc i have NO demand. so frustrating. maybe my population isnt big enough? idk im around like 15 to 20k people and they gave me the option for high residential so long ago but no one wants it lmao

Same for me, like my city already looks like a huge suburb and i'm even running out of space for so many houses with 1-3 people living in it

How am I supposed to live out my walkable city dreams in my city skylines world when ALL WE HAVE ARE SUBURBS 🤬

I feel like I’m missing something and it’s a simple fix bc I’m looking at other people’s screenshots and they’ve got all these high rises (I’m sure they must have more hours) but idk how to get there. Like does the suburb demand ever run out?? My map is European style you’d think they’d try and go for smaller houses at least 😂

trueee ive seen them too, but also a bunch of people are having the same problem pls if you figutr it out i need to knowww ive spent too much time to give up </3

Low density 5x5 block. Houses 5ish people.
High density 5x5 block. Houses 300ish people.

Plus that high density block is EFFING HUGE. If you want a forest of skyscrapers you have to get to a very high population. Otherwise you get a few here and there.

Also low rent housing counts as high density for the demand-o-meter. I think a lot of people are assuming its medium.

Sounds weird. I'm around 2k and they want mostly medium and a bit of high res. I have not build any low res since 1k, i guess. They just don't ask for it.

I am definitely people 😭 I thought it was medium bc it wasn’t super tall and unlocked at the same time. Damn
