    We have something better called eminent domain.

          I work in commercial loans for a living. I can’t speak to other properties that aren’t securitized, but they can’t exactly just take your property without approval. there are exceptions to the rule but it would still require a lengthy and pricey legal process.

      Eminent domain requires the government to compensate the land owner with the “fair market value” for taking their land. As the “fair market value” is so overinflated that no one can afford to rent the space, taking vacant properties through eminent domain is not a solution.
