If the goal is to restore, rebuild, and revitalize the cities, then
enterable buildings are a good idea. Run-down buildings are often
dangerous places, full of pests and hazards *perfect* for hundreds
of customized mini-quests and adventuring zones in whatever city is
being cleaned out at the moment. And if you're actually in there,
knocking over buildings or renovating them as a part of the quest,
well, rebuilding a ruined city can be an entire game of its own.
