Why can we not add a button "Raise this slum"?  I remember when I just 
stated playing Civ, no direct method of raising a city frustrated me to no 
end.

But I think raising a city of size > 1 should be impossible or get some 
penalty (disorder, reputation, revolution).  Because if you conquer and 
then raise, well this is ethnic cleansing.
