The economics of dereliction.

Old run-down buildings fascinate me. Often they are very photogenic, sometimes even beautiful. However the econonomic position is what interests me most. How does a seemingly functional building end up lying empty, rotting away? Surely the owners don't see this as a positive management strategy?

The answer, however, is for someone smarter then me to formulate.
