My quick google says 4% of apartments are vacant in nyc. Got to believe the vast majority of that is structural vacancy while landlords clean units and look for new tenants. feels like a none issue to me.
Nit: 4% of "apartments" - means "apartments that are available from landlords seeking to rent to rentors and likely consitute the available inventory that is unable to churn, due to already being either overpriced, or shit-holes nobody wants to live in."
this is a different metric than:
What % of luxury "apartments" are uninhabited in extremely high cost situations where an average person isnt renting the "apartment" - but laundering money by owning such place and paying a tax placeholder fee...
And in addition CHURN
What % of apartments are experiencing churn and whilst during so, what is the rent increase on each new wave of tenants...
This would be a really intresting tower defence game.
You are the landlord/super/scumlease
You have apartments that will constantly dwindle in desireability
so you have upkeep.
You can accept the upkeep cost, or, for a lesser price, evict the current tenant and accept a new tenant at a fraction of the upkeep cost to keep revenues going into the future with % rates you like that keep you slum lord-ship going... or you kill them all, demolish and build a new building gentrify the neighborhood and blame it on rats, older policies etc...
We need a TRUMP LORD 2000 NYC SIM module.
Instead of installing new sewar, water, fire PREVENTION systems
You are needed to install new RAT, SUPER, COP-INTERFERENCE-BRIBERY schemes to keep your shit going...
