@RickiTarr @justafrog I guess the point I was trying to make is that if a piece of land is going to have an abandoned structure on it for whatever reason that it needs to be safe. Obviously repurposing or removing the structure is best. |
@RickiTarr @justafrog Agreed. There are plenty of “idle” places that are ripe for repurposing. However, sometimes it is difficult. An older, but sound, building may not have safety or accessibility systems that are really hard to retrofit. My hometown has a large former hospital in it. There are a lot of good buildings there, but finding people to invest in them is difficult.
