I saw you have a very lean shopping area & thought you might get more merchants paying rent if the shops rented for $L 100/ 50 prims & were a little bigger. Would it be possible to make it look more like a small street? I realize prim usage is a big issue for a RP sim, but a few payng tenants would help pay tier & a nice-looking shopping district would be another area for role play. You'd have to provide a violence free area for merchants & customers, though, maybe with an apparent security system or bots of some kind & a posted warning that violence & lawlessness won't be tollerated there.
Here is a SLURL for another futurisitc sim with a nice shopping area.

I have my own reasons for suggesting this. I'm hoping to help create a Time Travelers RP group & I like your sim for a home base for this group. I have a small shop in a mall now, with mostly low prim furniture, nothing fancy, so I thought I might rent shop space in your sim both as a 2nd shop to sell my stuff & as a cover for our Time Travelers group. I imagine our group, if it were a faction in your RP, would be very secretive & would prefer only human members. But it might also form alliances wth players in other groups. Vampires, for instance, would have in-depth knowledge of past times & places, that might be very helpful to us.
I like the idea that our group might have figured out a way to tap into the time & space rift in your city & harness it's power to go back to specific times & places. Such knowledge would obviously be valuable & desired by many. Supposed some of our members wanted to try repair history by changing it, while others thought such efforts would be disasterous? If I ran a little antique shop, I could sell small items gathered from previous eras & provide a contact place for others interested in joining our group/faction.
I'm not much of a role-player myself, but a Time Travelers RP group could help draw people to your sim. Our primary purpose would likely be exploring historical sims as part of our RP, but we could also have a pressence in your city & be part of the RP there.
Finally. I'd like to suggest a Merchant class in your list of classes, since pretty much every society has merchants who desire stabilty & profit, no matter what government is in power at the time.
