VP Congress: Session 4, Proposal 20
This one proposal was overkill. Lategame building maintenance already far outweighed all other expenses pre-implementation, and now it just got crazier. I mean, just look at this:

Meanwhile gold income was nerfed in various ways that makes it hard to stay net positive unless you skip the buildings and work processes instead.

Detailed proposal:
Change lategame building maintenance values back to their previous values as detailed in the table below. Note that Wire Service maintenance is changed to 8 instead of 6 for consistency.

Spoiler Table :

BUILDING_ARSENAL	6	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_FACTORY	7	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_HOTEL	6	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_MILITARY_ACADEMY	6	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_MUSEUM	6	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_PUBLIC_SCHOOL	6	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_SEAPORT	7	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_STOCKYARD	7	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_THEATRE	6	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_TRAINSTATION	7	INDUSTRIAL
BUILDING_BROADCAST_TOWER	8	MODERN
BUILDING_HOSPITAL	8	MODERN
BUILDING_LABORATORY	8	MODERN
BUILDING_MINEFIELD	8	MODERN
BUILDING_WIRE_SERVICE	8	MODERN
BUILDING_AIRPORT	10	ATOMIC
BUILDING_BOMB_SHELTER	10	ATOMIC
BUILDING_MEDICAL_LAB	10	ATOMIC
BUILDING_MILITARY_BASE	10	ATOMIC
BUILDING_POLICE_STATION	10	ATOMIC
BUILDING_STADIUM	10	ATOMIC

Reduce Atomic maintenance cost to 9, please.

Weren't Medical Labs supposed to lose their Maintainance cost to bypass an exploit (for +2 Pop)?

Can't sell buildings with instant pop anymore.

I implemented this, so I have to revert it back. Sponsored.

Please unsponsor it, don't revert it, gold is crazy at the end of the game, so any reduction is welcome. I'm tired of not being able to even slightly bankrupt players, and their sudden 2000+ random cash infusions don't help either.

In the last session, several gold reduction proposals got passed that made late-game gold getting tanked.
I do not entirely agree with this proposal to revert it. But since it's a severe issue, yes I have to revert it back.

You can experiment with this on your personal mod, or just change the value in the files yourself.

I think the current net gold income is more or less balanced. At least it was my experience in the recent games.

The problem is that the "inflation mitigation" is implemented solely by the increased maintenance of buildings creating an ugly disproportion. Ideally those numbers should look somewhat of the same order of magnitude: unit maintenance, building maintenance, road maintenance and vassal maintenance.
