I'm still plugging away with a new city that was started as a quick play messabout. While I thought it was a matter of living with compromises, now in a later stage of 7000+ population it's turned into a Frankensteins monster. But in saying that it is working and stable. I've not been expanding as rapidly as I would do normally. When a population stage unlocks new city elements I'm not immediately implementing them, in most cases in this city I'm ignoring them.
I am upgrading the power and water as I go and buying new land but not extending far.
Some of the things I've done I'm sticking with, like crazy, bad intersections and road junctions. That look really really bad, but do work to ease the traffic problems.
Usually I would separate industry zones into their own separate areas, but here in this city there are all kinds of zone mixed with each other. Even in other playthrough's in early game times in a city I would try to buffer residential and industrial zones with commercial zones. But this Compromise-ville really is all about compounding the compromise, with luck the sick citizens won't clog the system to much....
