After many tries this is a Lutetia I am satisfied with. Everyone lives in either 94 Grand Insulas, 10 Medium and 10 Luxury Palaces (that's about 27% palace dwellers). I could have completed the city a bit earlier but underestimated the number of insulas I need for the 11k population goal and had continual stability problems with the palaces from goods delivery. These problems were eventually solved (though the medium palaces are often near to devolving due to lack of furniture/oil/wine but never get below small palace level). At the time of the saved game I had elected to govern 5 more years, which will time-out in the July following the saved game. Favor is 95 as I will not simply bribe Caesar to bring it up to 100 at the last minute, my favor rating is thus to me "legitimate" and better than having an unearned 100.
