Good heavens man! We're in the 21st Century. Radon recycling is the only way to go now. What do you think the pot is for?

Unlike Spain, we figured out how to keep over-tourism at bay a looong time ago. However, we're excellent hosts to our friends. So, next time you come, tell them you know a local who'll vouch for you, and we'll let you have the good stuff.

No monsters required, just Mother Nature. You could also build your city and then run it into the ground by inflicting massive budget cuts and power outages until riots occurred, followed by inevitable destruction.
