Considering who the mayor in question is I'm not too sure this is as much judgement call as it is straight up incompetence or just not giving a damn about the other areas. Not to mention rebuilding is damn near guaranteed not to happen for areas that get burnt to the ground afterwards because no company is going to move back in.to be fair saving the economically vibrant parts of your city will make it easier to rebuild the rest of it. That's one of those shit judgement calls that might be nessary.
