Actually, I like this suggestion. Nobody need pay for the demolition;
nature will take care of that. Have you ever seen what happens if a road is
not used and not maintained? It'll take some years, but sooner or later
it's overgrown and eventually disappears completely.
In the game, this could be done by replacing such a tile first by rubbish
(after, say, 5 years) and then (after another 5 years) by ordinary
grass/mountain/whatever.
