    I don't know, I'd rather leave emptying neighborhoods and buildings in place, they could end up like historic ghost towns (like Bodie CA) or get re-purposed in some new way like SacFarm's post above...I personally wouldn't advocate tearing things down unless a structure becomes dangerous like...

    Unexpectedly Delicious Food Discoveries
