Commercial is in crisis

I spent 3 years renting a commercial property that subsidized the rest of the property locations. As soon as my business left, the building and rest of the tenants were gone within 3 months.

It's now vacant, and has been for 2 years.

In many cases rent is set to prop up the value of the house to match the loan, not to match any market rate.

I.e. rather empty to not break the silent understanding with the bank than too make money.

Remember the stock is the product not the leases.

No, that's not how it works. You're just making things up. There's no such thing as a "silent understanding" with a bank. Either that's a covenant in the loan terms or it's not.
