The damage has already been done, the character is gone without much notice at all. No one thought he was going to delete it, just cancel the account. Alas, we attempt to make the best of the situation. This week in Lokian Abyss, Lok click for news in regards to this situation.

Contact the CSRs, they might help you out.
They've been known to (sometimes)be sympathetic on occasions like this.
Good luck!

Yep you couldn't have said it better. To summarize what the CSRs have stated...
If the person that was mayor deleted his characted then the game acted as designed by deleting all the items associated with this character. If this person did cancel his account and he did delete his character, then there really isn't much we can do for you.
So basically... Yeah suck it up, we know we have this gaping hole in our system, but we don't care to much to fix it over the whole year its been their. How about leaving cities for atleast 7 days without a mayor? If after that seven days no mayor runs then its deleted. What a simple concept.
To summarize our losses...
15+ gardens
20+ fountains/statues
Countless streetlamps
Shuttle
Bank
Garage
City Hall
Did I get it all? Probably not, oh well. OH YEAH
7 million credits in the treasury.
Yeah this is a great system, poorly implemented. And a wonderful money sink since it will take probably close to 25 million credits to get all that crap back.

unfortunately, I've been told that CSRs can't do anything *after* the city has been deleted. they can help some before the city is destroyed though.

OK, as a 2nd generation Mayor, this kinda scares me a little. Now, granted that I have yet to sleep since working lastnight I may be misunderstanding this.
Whena player deletes his character, if he had a player city, it goes away. I can follow this but does this still happen if he's not the mayor?
If the Dev's ever get off thier asses and do a purge, would this be the same as deletion?
I'm hoping I'm reading this wrong but as it sounds to me, if our old mayor ever get's deleted even though I'm the mayor now, Alacio Island will go with him. Please, please tell me this isn't the case. If it is, man oh man do I have a blowtorch ready for the Dev's on this one...

It isn't the case. When a character gets deleted all of his homes, factories/other lot intensive things, items, credits, that cute little jax, his bio, everything attached to him goes with him. A mayor's home is the city hall ergo when he deletes his character city hall gets deleted with him. If he isn't the mayor then the only thing that will be deleted is his lot structures/homes, and everything else just like any other citizen in your town or random player elsewhere in the galaxy.
