simcity 4

this is my favorite computer game ever. not that it has much competition, since it's the first computer game i've played since like...simcity 2000 or amazing animation or one of those other great ones we had on the old computer at home. yesterday i made two of my cities go from around 30,000 in population to around 70,000. now, i was really excited to have my cities finally be big, but then they started getting all these problems like real big cities! like crime, needing prisons, hospital workers going on strike, running deficits every year, running out of water, out of power, etc, etc. when they were at 30,000 they were so nice! always making money, never complaining about services, never catching on fire every five minutes... anyway, this is about the least interesting blog post of all time, but if anyone knows how to make your city make money instead of lose it, i would really appreciate the advice!
