I think that the English sounds fine as is, per se;
but I'm not sure that it accurately reflects the Japanese,
for the second part.

I would suggest these:

It would be better to tear it down.
It would be better to just tear it down.
It would be better just to tear it down.
Better to just tear it down.
Tearing it down would be better.
