Hopefully it's not a terrible secret to disclose more or less how your town's layout is looking like. 
I'm focusing on developing as much as I can, while building as little as I need. I have built a market between the six dwellings at the bottom column, in front of them at the other side of the road. That allows me to upgrade the first column into level 2 dwellings.
However, for it to have enough influence to reach the dwellings at the far side, I'll need to upgrade it, which means it needs to be near a police station. After upgrading all my production buildings to level 2 in their order of importance (Leaving clay and iron for last) I'm just not sure where to place my school, since from the three new unskilled workers I'll be able to acquire I have alloted one fireman and one policeman, but I don't want to put it somewhere it could mess with influence, since I've seen many buildings need overlapping influence of several service buildings (The fire department and the police station themselves need each other to upgrade to level 2)

Put the police station right next to market, along with fire station or whatever you needed.
I put my school right below the police station.
By the way guys, it's been 3 months + since the game started, there are only 2 level 100+ people, and they have invested tens of thousands of dollars in the game.
If anyone needs some advice, feel free to post a screenshot of your town here!

Did goldentowns just have an update? My enrgy increased by like +20 for no reason... and now default happiness at 10% citizens only live 8 days???
They didn't die or get picked up by an understaffed building, they just disappeared. I think someone mentioned that bug, I wonder if it had to do with what happened earlier to me. I'll need to manually keep track of them so I don't end up asking to use more than what are really available. 
Like, I know I had two working on a road each, but then I checked and they were just idle. Now they apparently got included into another construction and the roads are just... building by themselves. I don't know if it's an exploitable bug or anything, but it was certainly not my intention.
