Again, every building? We did a few village clears but I can’t see the whole route through a city
Frontage allocation for cities gets weird. You can allocate a couple kilometers for a division in an open field, without much thought for a village or something, but cities are where you start shoving whole brigades into pretty small areas because of the density of terrain and amount of clearance that needs to be done. Fallujah had a division' and change worth of troops shoved into that single area for comprehensive clearance, and that wasn't even against a peer opponent, where the numbers would start climbing if it was decided that taking the city was worth it.
