Why would that happen? What is it about a bus depot that would diminish the "return" of a property investment in the area? Do you think the people spending millions to restore the Hedrick Building, convert it to luxury apartments (apparently the most expensive apartments in downtown) with fine dining, rooftop bar, etc., know that there's a bus depot right across the street? Don't you think you should warn them?
The area has a number of vacant lots for the same reason that all of downtown is covered with vacant lots. It has nothing to do with a bus depot, which is an amenity that belongs downtown.
