>Some central business districts have few residents as they are purely zoned for office buildings and parking garages. I think this is exactly the problem many folks are proposing we solve, by doing things like changing out some of that unused office space dor schools and housing. It's basic market economics. Use the space for things we need, things that are in demand and space for which is scarce, not for things that are in surplus and have a flooded market.
