City in major debt

[GrizzGolf]

Problem. My city is in a huge amount of debt. I’ve maxed out the loans and I can’t still make a go of it. My city isn’t turning a profit. No one is really moving in because I turned up the taxes to try and turn the city into a positive balance.

What can I do to stop my city from going down even more? I’m losing so much money per hour.

Start over, and expand very slowly. Take out no loans and leave the taxes alone while you only buy a clinic and school at the start. Hesitate on buying your second tile until you've maxed out the first one with development. Build a few industry specialties, like farms and timber camps, from the get go since you can now.

The game is completely buggy at the moment. I have a city that generates a profit of 8k per hour (according to the in-game display). Still, I have to wait many months until I can afford the 35k expansion for the landfill so that the garbage can be recycled faster. Unfortunately, by then the landfill will be completely overflowing...

I think that is the problem. At least it was for me. After reducing all taxes to 10% my profit got quickly upwards. Although I don't know exactly why, because I already had most buildings occupied...
