Demolishing a district?

[JohnCJR]

Well if anyone is looking for some ideas for modding, I have something which is quite annoying that would make a good candidate for a mod. Ever conquered a city built by the inept AI player only to find that their city planning was so awful that they ruined a city in perpetuity? I have and it is annoying. They have a habit of building things like commercial districts right next to mountains, or rivers or in adjacent spots to the city center, making it then impossible to build that aqueduct or wonder which they neglected to build, crippling a city permanently. There needs to be some sort of mechanism in the game which allows either builders or at the city center, (preferably the former), to be able to demolish a district, building by building. This would allow the process to be costly in builders and turns but would not permanently cripple a city. The permanence of district just seems crazy and unrealistic to me. Just a thought....

I think razing a district should be simple if you own the city, especially if you have developed explosives
