I saw the door to the empty building in front of my apartment open for the first time in the 3 years I've lived here, and it is... An empty garage. Or storage room I suppose. It was squeaky clean. No debris, no sign of squatting, not even a single furniture. They may have tidied it up before I got there, but still not what I expected considering the state of the exterior.

There's a lot of property kept off the market solely to keep prices artificially high and thus inflate profits for property owners. There's 27.4 empty houses for every homeless person, in fact.
