It seems like an in-game message would be in order for changes to the game rules.

In addition, warning of this was not significant enough to have caused a message to be sent. Additionally, I found it interesting that the result was for 2/3rds of the town to either leave or starve instantly instead of refusing to pay the ridiculous 100% tax that I'd levied on them.

This thread is in fact a three day warning about the changes and exactly what they would entail.
(Also, I know what would happen to 2/3 of my town if they stopped paying their taxes, and it doesn't involve starvation or escape  )

Setting taxes to 0% fails to guarantee a net positive gain on all resources and therefore wouldn't fully correct the exploit. It would be nice if this were attempted first (possibly limited to the same change cooldown as manual tax changes). However, these rather programmatically complex measures would still have to be implemented as well.
Perhaps the mechanism can be yet expanded to first attempt this less destructive correction first, but I rather like that if I'm competing against players who run cities with benefits from deficit-balanced economies, at least they'll have to carefully and diligently micromanage shipments and be in constant danger of disruption with serious consequences. I don't much care for seeing level of obsession out-competing good planning and economic strategy.

Solved indeed. Thanks SC.
About the library, seems to be an exotic bug: other razed buildings rebuild fine, and lvls after lvl 3 library works fine also. will open a petition for that anyway.
