Crime & Airports

The crime simulator gets hung up on large structures. Basically, it picks a
random tile on the map to have a "crime event," and larger sites like
airports get picked more often.

There's no real workaround available. Best bet is just to keep your airport
isolated from your more developed districts so its high crime rate doesn't
hurt growth.

That's not too bad a bug, though, as it's not that dissimilar to real
life. Large buildings, particularly airports and the like, do tend to
be crime magnets.

The problem here is that your law and order advisor will constantly notify
you that your airport is a high crime area; no matter how many police
stations you build around the airport, the problem never goes away.
