So is this good or bad? Well that all depends on how you look at it and where you stand in the game, if you had already spent the money on a high value street in order to take advantage(not in a bad way) of the multiplier your hosed because your no longer making more. If you are just starting out or started out small its not going to have as big of an impact on you in the long run as you can change your build and investment strategy to accommodate the new change (still sucks though lol).
So below is part of the multiplier scale that determines how much rent your making, the important part since the street value effect is now capped. When building on a street you want your multiplier to be as close to 1 as possible since 1 means your getting even money for your investment, whatever you pay you will make back in 1 day. As you can see by the scale and as I stated in my blog prior to this anything over 500k and your return begins to lower steadily to the point where you are paying for a building but you wont be making any profit on it for several turns. Since profit/income is what your position is based on you want to make as much money as possible in the shortest time with the least investment to build your wealth fast and keep it up.

So now that we have all that covered with a little more detail what should you spend on a street? Well your going to make the most money on a street that is 1 million or more in cost, as stated your not going to make more rent on a street higher then 1 million dollars but you are going to make then buying several lesser valued streets.
So my tip in a nut shell is this, buy streets that are greater then 1 million dollars in price but buy them based on length and not location or any other factor. If your going to pay more then 1 million for a street do it because its very long, a long street means more space to build and therefore increased rent because you have the room to build more structures. When building remember that once you cross the 500k mark on cost your spending more and taking several turns to recoup the cost of the building instead of 1 turn to recoup 90-100% of the cost after which everything made is pure profit.
So my final words are this...
Buy streets costing 1 million plus, buy long streets, and build more little things vs big things :-)
