Spoiled Children Efficiency Drop (every new citizen becomes super lazy, entitled and will only take high pay low effort jobs)

Herbal Medicines Employed (major demotivation in both blue & white collar workforce, food consumption rises with 200%, heaps of "tourists", everyone starts caring about the environment)

Teen Superstar Visits (constant traffic jams, teens and sport fans clash in an epic fight over who gets the prime time at the stadium)

In general I wouldn´t like any "phantasy" disasters that just happen like that and especially only for the sake of having them at all. An example: Aliens appear over your town and destroy a significant part of it. I didn´t do anything to make them appear, I can´t do anything about it while it happens and after it I simply rebuild the destroyed part. That would be cheap gameplay I don´t hope to see here.
Disasters should have some sort of relation to your city, you should be able to influence IF they happen and HOW they happen, if they occur. The three eyed fishes should only appear if I reall dumped nuclear waste into a sea instead of dispose it properly. Catch my drift?
There are certainly enough "realistic" scenarious to choose from just have a look in the world, there is no shortage of conflict. What happens in Ferguson these days would be a most interesting scenario in a city builder. That Ebola outbreak would be another. Or Fukushima. Summer sale at the mall, it is hell on earth!

Concert of Miley Cyrus is already a disaster, you don't need a tsunami in addition.

Maybe not a disaster but something related.
I would like to see various degrees of traffic accidents in the game( if it is feasible).

I'm not liking all the zombie and alien talk. Transportation emergencies maybe. I turn off the disasters in that other game, there are enough problems to deal with.

Not exactly a disaster, but I would like to see power shortages (which may or may not have been caused by a nuclear plant exploding or a dam breaking ) have a major impact on the city - not just lights going off and upset cims, but public utilities should close (no power no school/hospital), metro/trams should stop running, traffic lights should fail, etc.

Yea, well, just to summarize list of realistic problems:
- power cuts / blackouts caused by overloading or low funding
- riots like in Ferguson now based on low police funding
- protests against high taxes

And some random ones:
- train crashes
- car crashes happening more or less often but not really affecting the game way too much. Maybe traffic jam for a minute or two

Cant find nothing more realistic.
