I decided to try out an electronics-producing city which had some hilarious moments. I started off mining coal and iron to get some capital (and to later use smelters to create alloys for processors) but I transitioned into electronics a bit too early. I had to borrow 100k from all three bonds and was teetering on bankruptcy for (real life) hours because I needed to purchase alloys and plastics. The fact that I had terrible traffic jams pretty much locked down my shipping trucks didn't help.

I ended up blowing up half of my residential / industrial and all of my commercial buildings to alleviate the roads and then an earthquake hit what was left of my residential zones. My net income was somewhere in the -23k/hour range.

I finally leveled off and started making some good cash, my city is now earning roughly 3 million every "month" but my city is a complete wasteland that is dotted with electronic factories and trade ports.
