Hi Josef, et al,

I've been playing a lot on Alpha 69 and begun experiencing problems which I
haven't seen as being corrected in history logs for a70, a71, a72, a73 and
b1.

Basically, after a certain period of time my towns start to degenerate. The
first symptom seems to be that on a non-road tile near the centre of the
town, the town will delete whatever building is there and build a single
tile of road (that doesn't connect to other tiles). Soon after, it becomes
apparent that some buildings are being downgraded whilst others are simply
being turned back to bare land. The building of random single tiles of road
continues near the town centre, and the town as a whole continues to shrink.

Ironically, this has forced me to play more prototypically, as hugely
complex passenger networks need slimming down as passenger numbers fall :)

Is this a known problem / fixed, or am I creating this problem via some
obscure combinations in my .cfgs?
