It’s not 100% foolproof but just a rough guide because demolition and waste disposal costs are non-zero. For someone else to use the land my house sits on someone would need to deal with the asbestos likely in various walls. Additionally, things get tricky if the land is found to have historical / archeological relevance which can stop development indefinitely. Commercial developers carry an insurance policy for this I believe.
