sorry for the very late reply -
okay, my strat is to first start off with 10-15% tax and 3% interest rate. after it booms, lower tax to 5 then and turn on inheritance tax (housing -25% and utilities- 70%) wait until theres about 500 of them and then raise taxes for a lil while and make sure not too many people get rich or employment plummets - that's what i have so far
Honestly, very solid strategy. I find that housing to 5 or even 0% to be beneficial in midgame, since housing grows quite quickly and will take up all possible utility squares. Unlike utilities, housing doesn't decay (disappear when there's not enough money). Knowing to raise taxes to reduce the rich is crazy good intuition though.
