I wouldn't be surprised if the owner wants either $1M+ for the former Pizza Hut or $7500/mo rent. They will sit on properties like this for decades--like 50 years. It's like they want to spite the community. It's probably some kind of jewish tactic to ruin cities.
Of course the city's code enforcement never fines the owners for not maintaining the landscape and painting over the graffiti.
That is because companies like McDonalds are huge real estate businesses, and make more money from their properties and assets than by selling burgers. If you view these companies like real estate investors, shit like this is perfectly normal.
His 'fascination' would be better spent wondering why it holds true *today*, for instance, in the American context.
Take a city like Detroit. There are whole streets in which all of the houses are either severely vandalized or have simply been burned down and the ruins never cleaned up, and you wonder if a single person lives in the whole street.
One reason why seems fairly obvious. Any remaining inhabitants simply adapted to living amongst ruins. Obviously it no longer seems abnormal if that's all that you know, and if you were born there, you'd most likely believe that that's how most Americans live. If you genuinely believe that it is normal, how can it simultaneously feel abnormal? It seems odd to the Twittard because he obviously doesn't live in some ghetto and isn't intelligent enough to be able to psyche himself up as someone that has spent all of his life in them.
