The new upkeep idea was great, but there are some issues.
First is that small towns are paying too low upkeep. As ADCK said in other post, this could enable a 1 plot town with only $10,000 to last for 27 years.
A common small town with 50 plots could last 54 years with $1 million, which isnt hard to get.
This will in fact increase the number of ghost towns in server, which already has too many of them.
-The best solution for this in my opinion is bringing back the 2500 obligatory base upkeep while still having the $10 upkeep per plot (maybe lowering it to $7).
The other problem is that mayors and assistants have been setting crazy tax rates for residents in order to pay for the town upkeep. Besides being unfair, this increases economic inequality because mayors and assistants dont pay taxes.
-The solution is making them pay tax too, so they think twice before setting high taxes.
