How to prevent debt in cities skylines?
I've only played this game for a few hours and this is the first strategy game I've ever played, so go easy on me :)
I started, built roads, provided services, etc. the normal way, but for some reason, it seems like no matter what you do, because there is no standalone and definitive way of earning money, your income will become negative, no matter what, pulling you towards dept, which prevents you from building and providing, causing people to leave, further decreasing your income.
If you cut services, people will leave because you cut their services.
If you increase the tax rate, people will leave because they won't afford it.
So what should I do?
Buildings and services raise money, but in dept, you can't build anything. So, what is the solution?
I tried to carefully balance the taxes and budgets, but it only has minimal effect on the cash flow, and it doesn't rescue you from any dept.
Which one of these should I try to raise money without having to build?
(except loans, bailouts, tax hikes, and service cuts)
bulldozing parts of city to make it smaller?
De-zoning roads?
Destroying districts?
making strict policies?
Which one? Any other solutions? Because tax hikes and service cuts only temporarily increase the cash flow, but do not rescue you from a -10K dept and -3000/week cash flow. What should I do?
