    It is a problem. In our area, I'm aware of several big box retail building that sat vacant for a few years. One has become a fitness center, and recently one became a discount hardware-type store. Still, we build new buildings rather than use the ones already there. Maybe the best solution is local ordinances that would require demolition within a certain period after official closure. But, as with everything, these could be gamed.
