Sometimes I want to build things in huge cities that are growing fast. So I clear the tile to build something on it, but the local authority builds a new building on the tile I just cleared within a second. This is very annoying since I don't always have the local authority rating to clear it again (and even when I do I might need to save my rating for clearing other tiles).
So it would be nice if there were a way to clear a terrain and buy it in just one click. For example CTRL+click on the buy terrain button could clear it before buying it.

Try pausing the game while you do what you need to do.
(Assuming building while paused is in the vanilla game. I've played patchpacks exclusively for so long I can't remember.)

There's nothing like a deadline to hone the concentration.

I agree it's mighty annoying when the city builds a house on the tile you just cleared. But I always thought this is done intentionally to make it harder to buy land inside cities.

Re: Add a way to clear a tile and buy it at the same time
It's already harder to buy land in cities because destroying the types of buildings that are usually in the center of cities requires a higher local authority rating, and when you destroy them your local authority rating drops more.

Change the setting for actions while paused to allow all actions, demolish the tile and buy it, then disable the option. It's not great but it works.
