It is really annoying to buldoze all the burnt buildings. How about a city service which could do it for us?

Perhaps not a utility, but a service... perhaps a building inspector or something that patrols and improves fire safety in houses, and once he/she comes across abandoned or burnt down buildings they will be demolished quicker.

Of course, if you're in a situation where there are so many buildings to bulldoze maybe it's time to address the problem that's causing the abandonment rather than just automatically bulldozing.

Just my 2 cents for what it's worth.

This should go in Suggestions.
Maybe abandoned buildings get bulldozed automatically after a suitable length of time so a new building can be built in its place. However, you need to fix the problem of why buildings get abandoned and then you won't have that problem in the first place.

I don't see burned out buildings often enough to warrant special treatment. Course, my view may change on that IF they implement 'fire spreads'.

No, i Don't have a lot of burnt buildings, just a couple from time to time scattered all over the city...

Maybe what you really need is a button that will jump you to abandoned buildings (a la simcity 2013) instead of automatically bulldoze.

There is a mod that will do this (which I use all the time)

Also, why not a public works department? Orange trucks, bulldozers, cranes etc.
Pay $X amount per week to have the Public Works Department (they have their own buildings) and those workers will take care of all burned down buildings!

You would need some sort of feedback so you know why they were abandoned.

If it's due to fire maybe you need to look at your coverage, lack of workers, your residential etc.

If they just get bulldozed automatically you lose the reason for abandonment
