• Drop fees for water and electricity – As one user on Reddit says, dropping the fee for these utilities made a large amount of high rent complaints disappear
• Ignore low-density housing demand – The demand for low-density residential is very high in this simulation, but you don’t need to satisfy it. In fact, building more of these will only make the high rent situation worse.
• Build colleges and universities – Once you do, you can begin having a highly-educated workforce who tend to increase demand for medium and high-density areas. Over time, this will lower the complaints over high rent.

In general, an uneducated workforce can’t afford the expensive homes in the suburbs, which is why they complain about high rents. By making high-density housing more attractive through proper zoning and making sure that land value doesn’t rise too high, you can gradually convince people to live in apartments.

You’ll also want to make sure that when you tile low-density housing that you keep their lot size small so that they are as affordable as possible. Also check on the building with the complaints, because sometimes the person it’s coming from is a child living in the building alone.
