The pronoun we refers here only to the two angels, not Lot or anyone else. Alternate translation: “because we are going to destroy”
אֶת הַמָּק֖וֹם הַזֶּ֑ה
DOM the,place the=this
The way you translate this phrase will depend on how you translated the end of verse 12.

See how you translated outcry in Gen 18:20-21. It may be necessary to translate this term in different ways, depending on the context. Also, make sure that your translation of their outcry refers to the people of Sodom, not Lot’s relatives who were the last ones referred to (verse 12). Alternate translation: “Yahweh has heard that the people of this city are guilty of terrible sins,” or “Yahweh has heard serious accusations against the people who live here”

Make sure the way you translate this phrase fits with how you translated the first part of this sentence. Alternate translation: “to destroy them and their city.”
19:1-38 The Canaanites were an evil, corrupting people. God judged their morally bankrupt civilization and warned others against becoming like them. It was difficult to get Lot and his family out of Sodom; it was more difficult to get Sodom out of Lot and his family. This chapter helped later Israelites to understand the moral and spiritual threat of the peoples living in and around the Promised Land, such as the Canaanites and Lot’s descendants, the Moabites and the Ammonites (see Num 22–25; Deut 23:3-6; Josh 24:9; Judg 10:7-9; 11:4-5; 1 Sam 10:27; 1 Kgs 11:1-3; 2 Kgs 24:2).
