In many areas you can earn significantly without have tenants, if you can wait a decade to get paid. Having tenants is chore, and might make it impossible to sell the property for a different use. Market economy works fairly well as to get the most value from the least work. If you allow empty apartment buildings, you will have empty apartment buildings if that's likely the best risk/reward for the owner. It's not about too much or too little market economy, it's about accepting the proliferation about the wrong kinds of markets, markets that are not in the best interest of people. We don't accept trade in ivory because that's not good for the elephants, there's no reason to accept apartment buildings left empty when it's to the detriment of people. No economic policy will govern itself, especially not any policy claimed to do so.
