Dcity Helper #001 Crime at Simsibee's city

A while ago i started helping Dcity newcomers in collaboration with @ecoinstant, who at that time was Dcity president. When @thegoliath took over the presidency, i continued giving away basic homes to any player the president deemed worthy.

At the same time i have been helping @jrcornel with advice on how to build a Dcity Powercity and i have enjoyed watching him climb the ranks ever since.

As i am currently ranking 1st, it seemed to me that helping other players would be a good way to give back a little to the game and i decided to turn my ad-hoc giveaways and advice into a more structured form: Dcity Helper.

In this series I will be looking at cities of newcomers and give them a little nudge in the right direction, both with some free cards as well as some advice on how to best, imho, build and develop their city.

In this first post i am taking a look at @simsibee, a player who recently came over from Steemit and who converted his Steem to Hive in order to start playing Dcity.

This is a screenshot of his city in it's current state.

At first glance it is a pretty decent setup. @simsibee has 35 different cards and only 36 unemployed citizens. He has chosen to aim for all 3 reward area's: income, education and creativity. I always recommend new players to focus only on income in the beginning, but there are many strategies to play Dcity and with the 3rd edition coming soon, not putting all your eggs in one basket could be a good move.

There is however one aspect of this city which is risky and it is a mistake that more smaller players make: adding casino's.

Casino's are a great source of income, but they increase crime and when they get robbed, they get robbed big: for 400 SIM

Simsibee's city has a crime rate of 31% and he has only 4 buildings that can be robbed, 2 of which are casino's. This means that no average once every 6 days, he will have a casino robbed, which wipes out almost all his SIM income, which is only 444 SIM daily.

My advice would be to sell those 2 casino's on the market and buy some restaurants, weed dispensary's or cinema's instead.

In short: Crime is Simsibee's biggest concern now.

I have given him the following cards in order to help fighting that crime.

1. 1x Police Station
2. 1x Gym
3. 1x Police Equipment Tech

The total value of these 3 cards is around 12 HIVE and although they won't change the stats much, they are a good step in the right direction when it comes to addressing crime.

Here is a screenshot of the new stats. Keep in mind that crime ratio's change only once per day, so check the city again tomorrow to see the police effects.

I hope you will take my advice @simsibee and that you will enjoy playing Dcity.
