Hmm, yes I forgot that duchies and cities are now separate things. Still, I'd take the city even at a loss. It's a rare thing to rule a city in this game.

Also, after doing some calculations, I have to wonder how Golden Farrow is spending all of it's money on food? Assuming food consumption scales linearly to population, it shouldn't need much more than 100 bushels per day. That amounts to 700 a week, which, even when purchased at a premium, should only come to an expense of 350 gold. Golden Farrow produces 2,000 gold per week. The Lord wouldn't get all of that, of course, however he should be able to get between 40 and 60%. So... how come it's all going to food expenses? Is the tax rate really low or something?
You are using inaccurate info. The gold listed on region info is before pop rebalance and with full production which GF does not have due to low pop. I would estimate GF's income at 1400 with atleast 400 going to upkeep. With 30% of 1000 that's 300 gold + 5% of 700 which is 335 gold but you need to take away atleast 10% for dukes leaving it at 301 which makes him not able to afford 50 gold per 100 bushels. Lastly, because of militia it's much more like 770-800 bushels a week.
