Maybe you do, but I don't want greedy placement except once in
a rare while.  In particular, if the city grows and suddenly I can
switch to using a high-food tile and a high-shields tile instead
of one medium-food/medium-shields tile, I want it to do that.
Similarly if I build a harbour, I want it to ditch the grasslands.

Now, there is that rare while when I'd really like to be able to tell
the CM that I want a worker in a particular spot (working the
enemy's fish rather than my own, for instance).  For that we'd need
some UI and API support.
