The organizations that can afford it should be able to have it. I also won't deny that I have made my decisions to encourage you all to make larger organizations and play together.. ;)
A city plot that could fit all buildings would not cost less than 100 mil/month in the outdoor cities. I have gone through them and the largest city plot had an upkeep above 150 mil/month and most decent sized city plots were all close to 100 mil/month or higher.
I have increased the upkeep for the smaller cities, yes. But you can now decide how high upkeep you can afford to have as your organization expands. No one is forcing you to place all buildings at once. To have an operational city you would need HQ, Satellite Uplink and an ECM tower. That is 35m/month in a small city and 45m/month in a large city built to expand. This is a lower upkeep than the serenity island city. :)
