    its more economical to write them off as a loss for taxes than renovate

    There’s a simple solution for that. If a house sits empty for more than six months, it becomes the property of the city. Maybe add a provision that lets the owners surrender unoccupied houses willingly in return for a small flat compensation. Problem solved.

      Forcing people to lose money to restore a lame asset or they steal your property… Yeah that won’t fly.
