No demand for residential areas

[AutonomicGuitar]

I have been reading lots of threads about this and I tried a lot of things but the only demand that I get is commercial. I got 167k people living in the city, I have been building more office areas, improved public transport, solved the biggest traffic problems (still have a lot of traffic jams no way to solve all of them), solved all garbage collection problems, solved all dead bodies collection problems, turned off the education before work policy, no air or water polution, no noise polution in res. areas, placed more emergency services, added parks to increase leisure, made certain places better accesible and I probably forgot something.

Is there anyone who can help me with this? Or did I reach some kind of maximum residential capacity?

Keep zoning for residential and be patient.
Keep your unemployment to 10-15%
Try to avoid zoning more commercial even if there is demand. As long as your trade is balanced, there should be no more need for any more commercial and consequently no more need for generic industry to supply it. Imported goods therefore should be zero and exported goods should be minimal.
While you're waiting on your population to mature and grow ( the kids have to grow up, move out start a family of their own = takes time) you could work on those traffic jams, although if service coverage is working as it should, then you'e doing fine.
Focus on land value and levelling everything up. This will increase capacities in all buildings, prompting growth demand. This is an excellent opportunity to start plopping uniques and/or landmark buildings and monuments.

Thanks I will try that! Unemployment is still an issue that is solving itself now, it reached a peak at 35% and now it made a drop to 22%. That might be the problem as well, do you think that making more office zones will help it drop even more?

I also deleted some commercial zones because I couldn't supply them, I tried everything to solve the traffic problem but I do not have any space left in my city center.

So if I understand you right, I don't necessarily need industry and commercial zones?
