Sim City 4

[JovialKnight]

My fast cash strategy is to spend all of my starting cash plus a couple loans and build a completely planned and gridded city. This works best when the city has a few well established neighbors. Doing this I end up having skyscrapers within a few turns and massive profits.:D

Yeah, use that one too, except start with only allowing small housing. If you jump straight to scrapers, then your pop. growth dries up. Spread out, then up always worked for me in grid cities.
As for having ajoining squares having the industry/business is the way to go. One of the huge squares for residential, with small/med squares all around for the industry. Miss out on some of the rewards doing it that way though.
