That's why I think there should be more incentives given toward preserving, via tax cuts, funding, etc.
I do remember some cities, like Baltimore, many years ago, sold inner city townhomes for $1 with certain contingencies, such as the buyer couldn't turn around and sell outright, they had to fix their purchase up, live in it one year, etc.
In the case of the Kansas City downtown revival, that was done under urban renewal grants. The buildings remain, they're just refurbished. It's been about two years and there's still work to be done, but it's a fantastic idea-designating a city area to arts, community and preservation.
