squalor?

noticed this lowering my pop growth, is this is caused by lack of public health in cities?

Dunno, but I got plague in the city with the most squallor

& it spread

Yes, this is due to lack of public facilities like Sewer, Aqueducts, Roman Baths, and the like. Any building that says it will help with public health will help avoid squalor. Your governor can also get virtues and vices that affect the city's squalor rating.

Still not 100% clear how to combat it VERY effectively, because putting in all the buildings only cuts it down a certain amount.

sort of a catch 22 in that you can't get access to the buildings that help reduce squallor without population growth

guys,

you need to read the notes on the buildings and listen to the advisor. there is one note from the advisor, in particular, that talks about reducing or preventing squalor... and i aint gonna tell ya what it is ;)

Well she has a nice voice, but she gets irritating after a while.

...Alright, I guess I'll turn her back on...
