Only Small houses

[snickii]

80% of the people want small houses... is that normal?
feels unbalanced

Its a game; there is a simulation to work with. Depending on the details, yes, most people will want small houses. Go through a small town of less than 50,000 people and tell me how many skyscrapers and large apartment buildings there are? The more dense buildings come along as the city matures.

there are not only skycrapers, the most guys would live in a flat at 50.000
Not in small houses for one family

if you have a village with 5k people than the most ppl will live a house

Just don't zone it. People will move into medium density instead. As long as there are jobs of course.

Well yeah. Which would you rather have, a six bedroom mansion or a tiny one bedroom apartment?
Housing demand is influenced by rent (related to land value) and the Cims themselves - a single, young Cim is happy to live in a downtown apartment, a family of four on the other hand much prefer a house.

High density is possible! Even with low population. My first City got to 100k Pop and the demand for low residential never went down, and i rarely got requests for anything more dense than row houses. The problem was that everyone in my city was poor. I had built a giant slum. My second play through I paid very close attention to what was being imported particularly the base resources like animal, grain and vegetable. Then I aggressively tried to get the imports to zero. This does not make the City money directly, but all the business and people who work there make more money. I also lowered taxes for those business and the commercial buildings that use those products to lure more of those industries to the City.
Once I did this I was able to stop building low density as the request for medium and then high was almost continuous! I now have a 30k Pop City with almost all Medium and High density.....the City currently looks odd as i have skyscrapers surround by fields :) I rarely built low density after my first few tiles.
