let the owner rent it for a dollar a month and we'll see if it gets rented
the owner probably wants a billion dollars and a pony, too, but what they can have are the options I listed
the reason they don't have tenants is because their asking rent is too high and demand is low
in capitalism, that means they should lower rent
as I said: capitalism
instead of trying to make the conversation about me or you, and instead of citing maybe-true singular anecdotes which don't prove your case (that space is limited, and lowering rent won't increase rentors), try just presenting the aggregate data showing that commercial landlords en masse have lowered rent to a dollar and still have these vacancies
WAIT!!!
Wait.
I fear what you heard was, "argue about your anecdote some more", but what I said was, show us the data
of course they will, at a low enough rent, obviously, which is the point: lowering rent is indeed a choice, as is going bankrupt, abandoning the property, or selling it at whatever price
