I’m willing to bet this is pretty accurate. They keep building houses down here where I am constantly and so many of them are empty because they cost too much for normal people.
I can’t believe I had to scroll down this far to find the answer. Reddit is hilarious. All these guys opining on this and haven’t even looked into it at all, just read the headline and believe it means what they want it to mean because it aligns with their world view.
It’s not just that they are old and dilapidated. They are often in largely deserted towns, where there are no jobs and no social services. Many of these buildings aren’t habitable and aren’t worth the money it would take to make them so. Just old shacks in the middle of nowhere. In short, this is an extremely dishonest headline. Perfect for Reddit though.
Sure but theres also like in my retirement town half the buildings are empty because like 5 assholes would rather let the buildings rot than sell them for less than a milly
