[0.3][Bug/Gameplay] Houses vanish when hitting level 4 city

from Elemental Forums

When my city leveled up to 4 a few of the houses got upgraded to Villas but the rest of them disappeared. I had two cities reach level 4 before the game locked up on end turn but both cities lost most of their houses when leveling up and only a few turned to villas. One of the cities did make it to level 5 and nothing happen so I think it might have to do with the house to villa upgrade.

I just saw this too.  One of my towns got to 500 population and all the houses disappeared and the population dropped to 220 (evidently the inhabitants of the slum I still had left).

Saw it again in my latest game.

I posted a bug about this, but this actually happened to be upon acquiring the next available housing upgrade, not when my city was upgraded (I'm guessing the bug happens when upgrading the houses, not when upgrading the city).

In the two games where I've seen this, I've had the tech for villas and estates long before my city grew to 500 population, but I've never seen any auto upgrades of the existing houses, nor have villas or estates been available in the building selections until the city got to 500.

Of course I'm no expert, and I don't know whether houses are supposed to auto upgrade to villas, or whether villas and estates are supposed to be available with the population less than 500.  I do hope this gets fixed soon, though.

I think I have experienced a similar problem with hut and house. My cities where level 2 with some huts build when I researched housing. When choosing it all my constructed hut vanished instead of being upgraded to house.
