Simulate life quality here?

Option to simulate life quality dynamics on site, representing how local government earning will be used for people, depending on public service quality and ecosystem service quality.  Further thought: although tax as determinant factor of government earning may reflect how expensive living on a place, but it doesn't imply that one will have bad quality of life. Indeed, tax itself could drive people to move out from a place, through returns to labour they have earned...
