Reserve housing for local population

It is similar to what was previously provided as one of the functions of Population Rebalance.
I don't know about homelessness, but it can reduce the chance of people oving out of town when they become an adult, which will have the effect of reducing unemployment due to lack of educational background.

Thanks for the mod! Works like a charm for me, even though Skyve gives a warning. This mod finally solved the homelessness issue in my town.

If the city has more than 300 vacant homes the spawn system is active regardless of vacancy to prevent too many empty homes in big cities.

This aspect of the mod does not seem to work in my city.

Adding up the empty households in just a few medium density and low rent properties I see well over 300 vacancies, but I am not seeing new cims moving into the city. I have zoned enough housing that my demand meters for all three densities of residential are at zero and new buildings are not growing on zoned areas. There are plenty of empty jobs in the city. In fact I need to get more cims into the city to fill those jobs. Unfortunately it seems the only way the city can grow is if the birth rate exceeds the death rate and when those extra children become adults they move into vacant properties. That's not ideal. I would like see some immigration if there are enough empty homes and jobs to draw new cims to the city.

City stats:

Population: 47,000
Households: ~22,500
Jobs: 32,600

I've been running the city with this mod for almost two years of in game time.

Have you tried disabling the mod to confirm that it is the mod thats causing the problem? The mod simply turns on or off the spawnsystem so if your city can't attract new housholds without the mod then it can't with the mod either.

Unfortunately, I can confirm this. The mod worked just fine without any negative side effects and helped DRASTICALLY reduce homelessness, but when my city reached ~35k population it started falling apart. I had plenty of open job, low taxes on everything and high happiness - but the residential demand in all 3 categories started tanking until it reached 0 and never went back up. Removing the mod brought the demand back to expected levels.

Yes. If I disable the mod people flood into the city to fill the vacancies and new buildings grow on the empty zones. It happens pretty quickly.
