I understand your point of view, but I also see the problem.

No one wants or can afford to live in ______. Hey, we can't have homeless folks, why don't we just let them live there for free and pay for their utilities and food. Wait, that sounds nice, but it means that not only am I working hard to pay for my stuff, but now I have to work hard to pay for theirs too. And once they get stuff for free, people begin to feel entitled like they should get everything for free.

Better demolished than empty and unused and end up with crack heads moving in or have someone turn it into a meth lab or have other random criminals move in.
