I'm disappointed this bug hasn't been fixed with the latest updated, makes the new balloons a slap in the face (which I won't be buying now)

With that said, I think the bonuses are supposed to be incremental. I know we've all figured out that you can have 80+ brown/blue/pink houses to make a ton of money quick, but I don't believe thats how the developers designed the game to be played. They wanted you to buy the items with the multipliers so that it would take a lot less time to buy the expensive buildings and decorations required at a higher levels (ie. Penitentiary = $50,000+... thats a LOT of brown house farming, especially if you're just a casual player that plays once or twice a day for a few minutes.)

This is a big bug, and its pretty shameful of the app studio developing this to have made this sizeable blunder. If I were Matt Groening I'd be hoping I didn't sign too long of a licensing agreement with EA, or if I did I'd be inquiring whether they could transfer this game to a new studio.

But on the other hand, I'm sure they're making buckets of cash off us, so perhaps they're not too concerned.

Wow... I never really thought about it like that. But you're totally right, most games, if not all, slowly increase the amount of money you make on all items as you progress and need exponentially more money for each new building. Without that added bonus, you'll be level 23 still gaining only $6 and 1xp on a brown house...
Ugh the grievances with EA are ever-growing.
