Businesses, stores and estates

The businesses residents want nearby, and grand houses.

Residents want everyday businesses near home. You place these yourself, they cost the city nothing to run, and their staff pay tax. Reach is how far away a home can be and still count the business as nearby. Estates pay property tax.
