The happiness drop down list is not that reliable. You need to have alerts for low happiness, health, and the like, and then diagnose issues with overlays and clicking on apartments to find any real issues.
>But what I mean by "fuck you till you build it" is that it's just a tax, a hit on happiness until the building(s) is constructed.
>Crime is three buildings and a happiness malus that says fuck you till you build 'em.
The primary function of crime is to punish players who ignore their citizen's welfare for too long by kicking them into a crime spiral that is difficult or at least expensive to recover from. You can ignore crime for a few years if you can fulfill people's needs, and by then 30,000 rubles or so isn't a huge sum to pay for three small buildings to deal with the ramp up of crime that comes with approaching 12,000 citizens. If you make a subsequent fuckup with services, you better fix it fast or crime will appear and multiply the issue into a spiral. If your services or utilities are always unreliable, then you better have extra cops on hand to contain the resulting rise in crime.
