    Low income housing is basically a poverty/homelessness backstop. Lower rent than anything else. Completely uneducated or unemployed need it. Nobody else wants to live there, including students. If it has high enough land value that it gets the warning, that likely means that it costs more to live there than in alternatives throughout the city. Which makes it a useless building.

    Ive had success with some low income towers shoved into a spot with gaps in service coverage, no parks, high noise, etc.

      Pretty sure the tooltip specifically mentions students tho. So it doesn’t seem like it’s working as intended. But ya I’ll just throw them in the shitty parts of town.
