Just look at our per turn Econ income and expenses. A single Expand Economy consumes 4 slots. We can spend 8 Econ in a single turn when you include the mid turn reaction.
LTE of 12 basically means swinging between "shit out of econ, generate some" and "shit, out of slots, generate some". We cannot hit the Econ cap. It's higher than our LTE. Pay close attention to this when your argument for Free City is that it helps us generate Wealth, because it actually bars us from Econ overflow until we spend about 6 wealth fixing it.
LTE of 16 has enough leeway that we manage to organically cycle them, but we cannot actually hit the Econ cap, because that will leave us with 0 slots and overcrowding.
LTE of 20 lets us actually spend for two turns in a row without stopping to generate if we take in significant econ(e.g. eating the Stallions). It also lets us hit the Econ cap without running out of slots.
If you're voting for Free City for the Centralization, this does not affect you.
If you're voting for it under the belief that it'd help with our economy...you need to actually look at the math. The tax is easier to cope with than the loss of Long Term Econ, because we don't have the Wealth or Actions to regenerate it AND do three megaprojects in a row.
