No. Dammit, no!
I do NOT want a hospital in Paris. I do NOT want an aqueduct in Tohexocotl. In fact, I don't want any of my cities to grow right now until I have the infrastructure in place to accomodate their growth. But I have to click you a hundred-and-eight times. I just HATE when you show up.
It is maddening, truly. You flash subliminal messages that Evelyn Wood couldn't read about important things like people starving, borders expanding, pollution lurking... These things you throw at me like dust in my eyes.
But something completely within my control, something that I can clearly see for myself, something that isn't nearly so important as the battle I'm trying to get to... for this utterly USELESS information, you find it necessary to be a bother nearly equal to moving workers.
Domestic Advisor, go away!

Probably good advice. Thanks, Ralf.

Hmm... In all fairness, I never found any good reason NOT to let a city grow past 6. I mean, sure, they'll get unhappy at the higher difficulties, but you can always assign some entertainers. (Better yet, turn the revolt pop-up on, and just tell the advisor to "give them some entertainment" when that happens. So you don't have to zoom to the city yourself.) You'll still usually end up with more production than keeping the city under size 6.
Now over 12, it's a whole other issue. At that point they start polluting, which can be a pain in the rear if you don't have mass transit or a whole army of workers to clean up the mess.

This drives me nuts...It really should only do this one time for a given city and then shut up. Something seems to trigger this and it goes crazy telling you about every city every time.
Sometimes when conquering I'll keep the cities low so that I don't have to worry about pollution clean up and unhappiness. It's really lovely when a whole continent's worth of conquered cities go off and you have to click "No, city blah is doing just fine" a gazillion times.

Well, I took Ralf's advice. I took the evening off and watched TV. I also helped my wife bake Christmas cookies (read: sampled them for quality). It was indeed relaxing and refreshing.
Sooooo...
This morning I load up my game. Time for my glorious war with the Russians. I click the next turn thingy...
PollutionstrikesnearToxical.... Huh? Where? Ourculturalinfluenceisexp...Ourculturalinfluenceis...Pollutionstrikes...Who? Expanded where? More pollution? Where was that? Starvationat...culturalinflu...starvation...pollution...influenceisexpanding Jeesh. Forget it. I'll just read the recap list. Oh, wait. There IS no recap list.
A long pregnant pause... Whew, finally the flashing of dust is over. I'll just go hunting around my hundred-and-eight cities and see if I can find where the problems were...
Oops. It still says, "Please wait..."
GAHHHH! BLECKKKKK!
"We need a hospital in City1" ...click... "aqueduct in City2" ...click... "hospital" ...click... "aqueduct" ...click... "hospital" ...click...
Oh, that vacuous whore.

Maybe you should let the AI-civs play against themselves only - you know; as some kind of advanced screensaver, without human interaction. 
At least give me an option to turn it off.
