I like how this article comes out in a UK post. But hmm - what about all these new "green" jobs that are supposed to take the place of the old ones? And how does demolishing an already empty area reduce spending? Seems like it is a way to justify more local governments taking back private land (by condemning it or taking ownership through these schemes where they can buy properties cheap) and then resell it to developers later.
It seems to me maybe they should use these areas to entice new businesses in by offering lower cost areas to start a business.
