But the real problem, if the local government takes over the property, is that it will become a tax burden. Costs to demolish and clean it up, plus re-development into a park and then ongoing maintenance costs, must be offset with some sort of revenue. On an island which already offers a ton of park-like paradise, it may not make sense to do anything with it other than demolition, clean-up, and let it revert back to wild land.
