Doesn't sound like normal game behavior.
Do you use mods/CC? In that case, it's likely there's a mod or mod conflict that's causing this behavior.
Easiest way to check is to first
backup your neighborhoods (just in case anything goes wrong when you test CC), then move out (don't delete!) your downloads. Run the game, test if the issues are still there. If they're gone, the problem is caused by something in your Downloads folder.
You can check for mod conflicts with the HCDU (there are a couple updated/edited versions of the original, like the one below)

If nothing comes up, it could be a single mod - check if you've got anything that's affecting community lots or time.
(Fair warning - some shown HCDU conflicts may not be actual conflicts, but ay just need a proper loading order or are supposed to show as conflicts, so ALWAYS check the items ingame if they're actually causing trouble before removing them, and/or look them up and see if they have known issues/conflicts with other mods)
Depending on how your downloads are sorted, doing a 50/50 search through your mods could also be relevant (if you keep your mods sorted in a separate folder from the rest of your CC, check first if the problem is there by only putting in the mods and running the game. Problem still there? Then it's contained in the mods folder. Problem goes away? Item causing the issue is either elsewhere in your downloads OR is conflicting with something in your Mods folder).
