is there anything a mayor can do about someone who was told not to place a house somewhere and they placed it there anyway??? there should be some sort of evict from town command given to master mayors. its just not fair they they cant actually be in control of their city.

there is nothing that you can do to this person, the best you can do is contact a csr and explain u had asked them not to place there. then see what happens

Was this someone you gave zoning rights to, and they placed the structure somewhere they shouldn't have?

In the future, it's a good idea to place structures yourself to make sure they go where and oriented how you want them. If you are not a master elite entertainer or doctor and need a hospital placed, try to find someone you trust to do it for you. Then you can transfer the building & the person then has it. It may sound powermongering, but people really don't mind it - and it saves time if someone sucks at placing houses.

Or...if you want to "Reserve" a spot in your city for some other purpose, try placing a Street lamp/fountain/garden as a place holder..

Definitely turn on zoning rights and definitely start placing the structures yourself then transfering ownership.

What happened to talking to the person and explaining why you didn't want the house there and helping them find a better place to put it? If you can't talk reasonably to the person why did you allow them rights in the first place. And if the person was given rights against your wishes its time to trim the militia rights a bit.
The people who have rights in my city all understand the rules and they check with the mayor before doing anythign to terribly innovative. We are a community and that means we work together. If you're not working together something is wrong.

We have a strict policy on how structures get placed. Militia members are trusted members of the founding guilds and have acces to spare lots at all times. Under no circumstances does anyone not a citizen get zoning rights granted to them. Current citizens asking for zoning rights have structures placed then transferred to them. This is, as far as I know, the only secure way to run a city and have any type of control over the layout.

sorry doc, but that's like asking the burn victim why didn't they get out of the burning building BEFORE there was a fire.
People lie sometimes to gain....something. As politicians you should know that 
...and I agree that the people who run a city should be given the benefit of the doubt. It's their city, right? If not what's the point of a community that anyone can just come in and trash whenever they feel like it?
hard argument....

As a politician and a mayor I know that i don't grant rights to people I don't trust. I don't give militia rights to those I don't trust and if they betray that trust they lose those rights.
Once a person is in a city they are a citizen. The city is as much theirs as it is the next citizen. Evicting them would allow all types of griefable situations.
