I'm attempting to get the Happy Town achievement, and I've got Industry around 96-98% happiness and Residential steady at 96%. But for some reason, Commercial has been stubborn and unwilling to increase above 82%. Any tips? (No offices in this city.)

Lower your commercial taxes to 1%. Other than that, you can't really do anything.

Okay... doing that now. That got them up to 87%, but still short of the 95% I need for the achieve.

Edit: Actually, I might be alright. My city happiness is at 95-96% according to the Statistics page... if I can maintain that for 5 years, that should do it. Would still welcome a couple more tips. This is the toughest achieve in the game for sure.

Edit 2: Got it. Commercial never got any higher than 87%, but Residential got as high as 99% at one point, and Industry moved around between 95-97% depending on the diligence of the garbage collectors. Global happiness was 95-96% for the 5 years I needed it.
