When you claim an existing city, if it is bankrupt you can just select the 'create new city' option from the menu (take out a bond, raises taxes etc)

If I'm not mistaken, that just lets you build a new city on a different part of the region, not actually "restarting" the city the person abandoned.

I'm not looking for a method to play a different city. I want a method to remove a city from a region that has been bankrupt, has no bonds available, and has been abandoned. I like my region. I just don't like the city someone else abandoned and want to start over. I don't want to start a new city in a different area. I want that crap city gone and cleared so someone else can try.
