Unoccupied Buildings - Bug?

[josephhrtn]

I have just started a new city and demand for low and medium residential zone is at maximum. I have about 20 low density homes, all of which are occupied yet I am still getting a negative marker stating there are unoccupied buildings. I have waited and watched with the population overlay and they are all occupied.

Why does this happen? I get it in every new game I start and it just ruins the whole thing

Where are you seeing unoccupied building error?
If its on the RCI demands then is not a bug, its telling you hat there at NO unoccupied building so new citizens are unable to move in. In other words, you need to create more of that zone type to let citizens or business move into your city.

The first image is the extent of the city. It's just started.

The second image isn't the best quality but it has the population overlay so you can see that all residential buildings are occupied.

The third is where it says a negative to residential demand are the unoccupied buildings.

This negative stays in my city no matter how big it gets. It's there from start to finish. Even if I zone a huge amount of residential, it will stay there so it's not as ImeXo says.

This is what I thought. This isn't a bug, even if your city gets large. It's not saying that you HAVE unoccupied building, it's tell you that you need to create zones. If your demands = 0 and you still see this issue, then it's a bug. As long has you have demand in your city and not enough zoning for that sector, you will see this unoccupied building message, especially if the demand is very high.

Here is an image from my city.

Yeah, I've got this bug happening as well. City grew well until about 40k,then all residential demand cratered to zero. Happened with low density demand first. For some reason it doesn't seem to affect industrial demand the same way, have had plenty of abandoned industries, and that demand is still pinned to full. Thought it was related to unemployment, but I've gone hog wild with more Comercial, office and industrial, got unemployment under 10% and all residential demand is still pegged at zero. Happiness good, services good, traffic good, pollution good, lots of connections to outside towns, only negative is unoccupied buildings in all three res demands. Super frustrating.
