Good for affordable housing?
not if they’re abandoned because they don’t have accessible clean water, affordable power etc…
people aren’t walking away from livable places.

I could see them buying up places and doing the slumlord thing but otherwise, it’ll be a net loss for them too: fewer educated workers for their empires
but I doubt they’ll care until it hurts.
