City will not grow

[Mayor Brian A. Mullen 0]

There are more than 1,300,000 commercial jobs in my city. There are only 700,00 sims. Why will it not grow anymore?

Check out omnibus articles relating to residential caps if you haven't already, that could very well be your problem.

With 700k population, you will need to have basically every reward placed in your city for cap relief and quite a few parks. Stadiums, plenty of educational buildings, major art museum, opera house (opera house fix might be necessary, its in the top50 downloads in the right sidebar of STEX), you might even think about cheating to place farmer's market and other harder to get rewards, if necessary. I also remember having troubles getting past 700k in one of my larger cities, but I don't remember exactly how I started growing it again... I think opera house fix played a big part.

If you have lots of plopped commercials they always have low customer rates, that won't create as much demand as grown lots with high customers.
