lol

i mean, i enjoy the song, but it's about a guy driving west on a highway first wishing he could have joined explorers who died looking for something that didn't exist, then deciding he's already just like them. i think it's a weird choice to play on anything about the actual expeditions, even once. but fifteen! goondolences.

They keep the rental rates higher that way. Yeah, they could rent the empties out at lower rates, but overall they'd make less profit because it's basically a cartel system and having higher average rent benefits them.

A lot of landlords also keep apartments off rental markets long term because they make more money renting them out as short-term rentals on platforms like Airbnb, and in the process they also drive up rents on long-term apartments so they make more money both ways. That isn't exactly "keeping them empty" but it is keeping them off the market for people who actually need a home to live in.

That child totally had it coming. Nobody should be able to be out at dusk except cars.
Somebody said in another thread it's by "trying" to rent it out far above market value and getting a tax write off or claiming insurance or some poo poo for that sum.
