What if your best city is your best research city?
This isn't about agreeing, this is about math.I agree that generally it is a bit wasteful to have your best city also be your best city, but in a situation like this where you get a fantastic cottage site that is also a holy city it can be attractive to do both. Obviously if you have another holy city it's better to make IT the whoring wall street city, but you can't always get two holy cities early on. As long as you have the hammers there is no reason not to build both Oxford and Wall street in the same city if it is going to mean the greatest and
City maintenance is effected by distance from government centers, such as the palace, versailles and the FP.You meant 'FP' I assume. I don't think city maintenance has an impact on our conversation; if I'm correct, city maintenance is deducted from your net cash supply and individual cities don't bear the burden of paying their own maint costs. So it shouldn't affect our profits.

No, it can happen sometimes even if your specialization is perfect.
True, I often have an academy in my financial HQ as well as my research HQ (and sometimes a few other cities as well)...I might put all the other research multipliers, even an academy, in such a city if its base commerce were strong enough to merit it.
Actually, you are the only one espousing your position. So, why should I throw out my strategy?Even if what you say were true kochman I wouldn't waste the or the National Wonder slot on a wonder which should be built based on where it will most lower surrounding maintenance costs.
I think you need to throw out that strategy as it's not holding water. Again, local maintenace is totally irrelevant when our goal is to maximize generation in a particular city.
