That’s the entire issue - lack of tenants for those aging buildings. They want to put those buildings to use by allowing for residential conversion, as well as allowing new construction. There are businesses that rely on the foot traffic. Mixed-use is the model cities use today to bring dead districts back to life. Sometimes the zoning has to change with the times.
