    Ah, that makes sense. Here it’s just old failed restaurants and such with out-of-state owners who sit on the property, sending someone once a decade to do the bare minimum to keep the building from being condemned, hoping there’s a huge boom in property value eventually. I guess if they’re actually fully abandoned, as in nobody paying property taxes, the city or state can take steps to assume ownership.
