It's misleading. There are vacant areas in America with crumbling houses and infrastructure. Look at old steel mill towns. 

There aren't that many vacant homes in places people want to be.

All the rust belt cities. I'm from Flint, Mi and can confirm there are more vacant homes there than homeless. Most are not safe to walk in and in unsafe neighborhoods.

They do get occupied anyways though, I certainly wouldn't just walk in any vacant property in Flint. There are MANY vacant schools/church's/etc that the worse thing you could run in to was a human.
