Your sims will complain but not abandon their houses if there are no specialization buildings. So don't worry, save the money, earn the keys(which buys them) and start placing them one by one.
There are two specialization you should be focusing on: Education and Transportation. These unlocks at level 10.
1. Education
In order to unlock Education you'll need Department of Education(40000§) first. Then you can place Grade school, Public library, High school, Community college and the University. Each one of them requires the prior in order to unlock.
All the specialization buildings including the department boosts your population. Grade school by 25%, Public Library by 25%, High school by 30%, Community College by 40% and the University by 50%. The coverage area increases exponentially. The keys needed to buy them are 3, 5, 7, 10 and 25 respectively.
Now there is a catch here. Education buildings are big and they do not fit well in any design so don't try to place too much of them. Instead go for transportation as they are more efficient.
2. Transportation
You don't need them in order. When they are unlocked, they're unlocked for good. That's why many people choose them over education.
You should have 2 Bus terminals(20% boost, 4 keys each) covering all houses and then build the Heliport(50% boost, 20 keys). Place the heliport in between the houses cause one heliport will cover all 27 zones at once.
Department of transportation (40000§) is also needed here. Everything will boost your population.
When you have enough keys you can place multiple specialization buildings to boost your population as much as you like.
Which one should you prefer?
If you're broke and have less keys try transportation first cause the buildings are smaller, the keys needed are less and it doesn't matter which one you choose. Your sims don't care as long as they're getting mass transit.
There is no clear indication from EA that having Education or Transportation have significant value on your tax income so just forget that crazy idea boggling inside your mind that educated sims should pay more taxes.
