Most of them will probably go away, but I wouldn't scratch them off. Things have an uncanny way of coming back when people stop trying to make something of them, when they become abandoned and creative folks are allowed to do as they wish to the structure. No one wants to work in these builds right now because (as you pointed out), e.g. horrible lighting and ambiance. But if you came back to it, and knocked some holes in the roof (easy to do, because, again, they're cheap crap), then suddenly, it could actually turn into the sort of dorm that we'd actually wanted to be in.
