No Duh. We've gone over this suggestion several times. The chieftain can clean up stuff in the village for a modest authority cost in order to help fix stupid villager tricks like building a mansion in the middle of the main road.
Let's remember that this is a game, and occasionally, it's alright to let players take the easy way out if the hard way isn't fun and doesn't lead to fun.
For instance, is having a misplaced wall segment hanging around for two weeks because nobody is strong enough to remove it fun? No. Does it make something else more fun? Nope.
Compare this with food; eating isn't fun (although J&L really seem to enjoy it), but by making it part of the overall upkeep, it provides challenge and a goal and ultimately makes other things fun.
So, don't, don't, don't justify clumsy UI or game design by saying that the fix is "unrealistic", or if you do, at least make it possible for the average human being to swim across a puddle.
What about hermits?
