Right, right now, Wailing Walls are the way to go, craft as much as you can. The by far surpasses the benefits that Blue Houses had.

Spooky Walls are also a good way to increase your bonus while maintaining the decorative motive. Though, since it seems you're not against house farming, Spooky Houses are better than spooky walls to generate money, especially if your income is not in the stratospheric level; they have the same income and collection time of the Purple Houses, making them a good choice to increase the income.

Now, stepping aside Event time and continuing with the house farming mentality, you can still build small amount of those basic buildings in order to help you, needless to say it would never be on the levels of pre-ban. a number up to ten of the basic buildings, like Purple Houses, Blue Houses, Brown Houses, Kwik-E-Marts, Krusty Burgers, doesn't seem too far-fetched and can produce a good amount of income if built early. That said if you can only log into the game for a little amount of time only once a day low collection time buildings won't do much for you except to help you with neighbours.

Moving out of the house farming (although it can be seen as a complement), are the neighbours. Visiting your neighbours can became a great source of income, and not only that, the higher in your friendship level you are the more money those actions yield, in addition to the prizes you can get that are a way to improve your town, without spending the limited cash you have. Some of the prizes, like all the NPC you'll get there will not help you at all, on the other side you have some prizes like, the Singing Sirloin and Stampy that generates money for you. The benefits of standing at the final friendship level of the moment and obtaining all the prizes, traduces in triple cash from the friends actions as well as the opportunity to get "random donuts", which needless to say, becomes a great help.

Other helpful thing can be some of the premiums characters + building combos. Some of them have a "stoppable questline" of "send springfielders to", which means that you can keep sending characters there as long as you don't complete the other part of the questline. Examples of this can be found in: Akira's questline, that if stopped at the right time you can have a 1h premium job for many characters, as long as you don't send Akira to complete the other part. Other is Lurleen's questline that can be stopped at a point that gives adults springfielders a 6h premium job.

I'm afraid that those are the basic I can give you, I came from the "pre house farming ban" era, and as you can guess I have farms of my own.

Lastly, a bunch of veteran players on EA forums started a "race like" competition with completely freemium towns from scratch the "Race To The Finish" were the objective was taking the towns to the last level available. They started it on July 4th and already are people that have make it to the goal. This is the link, in case it interest you, but BE WARNED, currently there are around 250 pages of 15 posts each. There might be some helpful tips there, but finding them depends on you.
