I wish my local government would do this. Businesses and industrial sites should be taxed at significantly higher rates if they are vacant to encourage businesses or repurposing. This would encourage owners to lease sites or sell them up for redevelopment instead of just holding onto them and allowing them to flourish as ruins in the middle of otherwise vibrant areas.
