That's what I'm thinking, even if the property and surrounding properties are devalued now at least they would be creating an economy in the city. They could always raise the prices later. I just don't understand how empty could ever be better unless the cost of maintaining a lived in building was higher than a non-lived in building.. Then again, I see the same thing here in the US. Companies like Cisco buy huge office buildings and leave them empty for years. I suppose it's because building prices are cheap now. I always thought it was because there was a movement for workers to work from home more.
