I put Bakeries in the corners the market circle doesn’t reach, rather than houses.
They give a boost to Desirability and bring fresh food to within close proximity to where peeps are.
It also helps me regulate the use of Flour and Wheat.
Putting the Windmill, Bakeries and Granaries too close together results in huge overprocessing of Wheat to Flour and Flour to Bread, the loss of winter fodder for Barn animals, and food lost to rot far too quickly, unless you monitor it very closely. (Like we got nothin’ better to do!)
So, I spread them all out and make the Bakery workers run at least 15 or more squares for mats, while the Windmill runs at least 12 squares to the Granary.
I place my Granaries right next to my Barns (no space between), so the animals get plenty of winter feed.
But I also build in the expectation of the upgraded market circle, so a few houses have to wait for coverage.
