Service 2.0

This update ruined the game. I redownloaded and now my city is crumbling due to the infrastructure upgrades. It’s like having to restart not worth playing anymore honestly. Sucks for them cause now I have adult money

Annoyed

My city is currently filled with blank cubes! Is this supposed to be an update? Can you please fix it?

The automatic zooming in on flying objects needs to stop. It was nice once, now it’s very distracting and annoying.

The different themed mayor challenges and the increased bonus assignments are good!
