'Murderer' and 'rapist' aren't conditions that human beings are innately born with it. Terrible societal ills produce 99% of these cases. Rather than put resources toward curing and preventing those ills, you'd rather throw money into the bottomless, idiotic, demonic pit of police & prisons -- which only serve to further entrench and intensify society's ills.

If you want to fix it up for use by the current occupants, then talk about that. But if you want to just displace the tenants & make the building unaffordable to everybody, then just own up to the fact that you're a gentrifier.

Yes. In 2018 it was 250 thousand, but the number of empty apartments have drastically increased after the pandemic. Corporate landlords, and even many small landlords, are to blame -- and so is the government for being in the pocket of the real estate lobby and doing nothing about this. https://www.6sqft.com/nearly-250000-nyc-rental-apartments-sit-vacant/

Landlords and finance bros can thumbs down posts spitting truth all they like, they're not fooling anybody.
