Hi Chris, I understand the issue you face, but I don't believe there is any way around creating the accounts manually. Because your ad copy changes based on city, and geo targeting is done at a campaign level, you have little choice but to create a campaign for each city. As you've said, you may quickly reach the campaign limit per account, warranting more accounts.
I will submit a feature request on your behalf to allow for account creation via the API, but I can't make any guarantees about if or when such a feature would be implemented.
