Don't build statues on a town's centre tile

[odisseus]

A town should never select its own centre tile to build a statue of company owner, even if that tile is empty.

Additionally, if the town has a regular street grid (2x2 or 3x3), it shouldn't build statues on tiles that are aligned with the grid.

i thought statue was always meant to be replacing a house? that would address both of those issues.

I have a different opinion...
I very often build a statue in the strict center of the city - I just like symmetry.
I don't understand why it should be banned at all? You can always make it easier for a city to choose a place for a statue by cleaning the area you want. It is neither time consuming nor expensive, so I don't know what the problem is. The city will NEVER remove the road by itself and build a statue site on its own - this is not a coincidence.
