I have an easy solution...

Don't allow cities to run a deficit more than 10% of their income and limit Bond value to 150% of annual revenues.

Given most citys will have commercial / apartment space , it would make sense if some of this would have to be sold like they do in real life.

IF you think public services are now selling of buildings / land not used, thats perhaps a though to what could happen if a city cannot raise any more bonds.

Also public spending should be forced to be slashed to a certain level in order to get the city back into a surplus.
