Can't build new houses.

For weeks now I haven't been able to build new houses, it happened after I bulldozed some existing houses. If I try to build new houses it says 'can't create new residential zones, build on existing zones first'. I have 19 buildings ready for upgrade, it was previously 20, but I bulldozed some more. If I upgrade a building, another hat appears else where.  Before I bulldozed some buildings I was able to build more regularly.  I am on level 38. I have 138 residential buildings. 26 epic buildings and 19 ready for upgrade, but this was much higher before i bulldozed and I could still build new ones.

    Hi @MissSiany,

    Unless you're playing anonymously (if your city is not connected to a Facebook or a Google Play account) try to uninstall and reinstall the game. 

    Let us know if it worked.

  • Hi, I have almost the same problem but actually I didnt bulldoze anything. The hat icons just are not coming up and I cant build new houses even if it shows me that i shoudl be able to place 2 more. Reinstalling game is not the solution, I tried it.

    is there anything moreni can do?

  • Having the same issue and I can’t find a way around it. I have buildings that are ready to be built but I get stopped with the same message yet I have no yellow hats to upgrade my current buildings
