Anyone able to get past 200k+ population?

My grid is full and I don't have any more area's to zone residential, has anyone been able to get past 200k population? I'm afraid to blow up my commercial or industrial in fear of having everyone leave because there are no jobs.

So you only put residential in? Hmm that's pretty interesting I'll try that out. Do you have to develop them at the same time?

Highest I've gotten is 160K

So I ended up destroying my commercial and industrial and got to 300k, at which point everything quickly fell appart. Crime and traffic shot through the roof and I was having massive garbage/sewage/water problems, so I dropped back down to 170k which seemed the most stable. Maybe you need to scale properly or have a great works in place to continue to grow after 200k.
