How to increase residential demand?

[skunkmonkey]

I'm at Boom Town progression now, but my city seems to have leveled off, and I can't seem to encourage more residents to move in. I have every service I can think of, and I've added parks throughout the residential areas, but the RCI still shows nada for the residential demand.
My stores are begging for customers, and right now my only option is to remove commercial zoning to solve that, but that still doesn't address my stagnant growth.

I answered my own question. Oddly I had to fix my road system. Once I improved the large arterial roads, and eliminated congestion, the residents started flooding into my city again.

Someone else also suggested increasing your production industry like logging camp, food farms, etc. Might be worth looking into!

Reducing the import of material goods (particularly early on) will allow all the business related to those industries to flourish. They have to pay shipping costs for anything imported. If you make your business rich all the people that work there get rich and you can have a High Density Low Population city with educated peeps. Here is screen shot of what this did for me.....30K pop and almost all high and medium density.

Also use districts....they seem important in CS2 for instance incinerators are working as long as you assign them to Districts.

Unfortunately, it seems that assigning districts is not working for me. Just finally gave up on trying to make the game work until some more patches come out.

I had the same problem, but I fixed my traffic problem too and that seemed to fix it all up!
