Cities: Skylines 2 has—or rather, had—a rent problem. As evidenced by even the briefest of searches on the game's subreddit, players kept bumping into the same systemic nightmare time and time again: The rent is too damn high.
Oof, if that doesn't hit close to home. Just look at the real-world UK right now, for example, which is in the midst of a renting crisis—with the Office of National Statistics reporting that rent has increased by 9 percent over 12 months, the biggest pricing bump since it started tracking increases in 2015. The US isn't doing much better, either.
