I feel your pain. I was stretched thin with my population and turning off other buildings was not an option. So I just counted those population as a loss until I got another level and more houses. Finally learned my lesson and I try not to overproduce... except Steel. Those are always ready to collect when I drop below max, and Steel gets used up quickly.
