Rehouse citizens after a house is torn down with the fewest moves

When one house is demolished or made smaller, re-sorting the whole town sends every worker across the map and breaks their routes. This entry keeps everyone who can stay where they are, moves only those who have to, and says clearly who ends up without a roof.

Why this works

Every move costs the player something, such as a worker's route, a habit or a sense of home. Keeping everyone who can stay and moving only those who must gives the smallest change that still fits, and a fixed order makes the result repeatable.

When not to use it

Skip it when the player wants a fresh, balanced layout, such as after a big rebuild, or when closeness to work matters more than stability. Then rebalance everyone and accept the churn, ideally on the player's request.
