Villages need to make sense

I find a village and there is a ravine running through it with some houses hanging in space. Or having the village bell down in a pit and the houses up a mountain. Or a village burning because it is built around a lava pool. Who builds a village like this? 

In my opinion, villages should appear on relatively gentle slopes or clustered on top of mountains or situated on sheltered bays, not randomly borked into any landscape.

I think that really screwed up villages should automatically become abandoned villages and/or terrain adjusted around villages to make them at least look less like a deranged planner decided to build just because.
