Too many statues/fountains are built in town centers.

[Ben79487]

Version of OpenTTD

OpenTTD 1.9.2 on x64 Windows 8.

Expected result

Town would build a couple statues/fountains here and there in the central districts, still predominantly building other buildings

Actual result

Disproportionate amount of statues/fountains in the center of town.

Steps to reproduce

Start game in 1950. Make a bus system so a town will grow quickly.
In a couple years, you'll start to find lots of statues/fountains in the central districts.

Pictures

Note the entire block of statues and fountains near the coastline.

Unfortunately this probably classifies as "by design". The default town buildings simply don't have enough building types for the inner zones in the earlier years.
I can't tell for sure, but it also looks like your screenshot is taken in Sub-arctic climate, which definitely has fewer building types available than the Temperate climate, further exaggerating the issue.

Similar issue occurs with theatres before about 1930

As mentioned, this is by design, how ever sad that might be. There is not really a lot we can do about that :(
