Foreigners? Most of the vacant buildings in my city are owned by people in Ottawa. Some guy in Ottawa bought two 100 year old hotels on my street. One burned down 18 months ago, the other has been condemned since 2009.

A guy in California owns a theatre in the north end of the city, and he has let it decay to the point that it likely can't be saved now. He won't even acknowledge the issue when the city contacts him, but he owes thousands in taxes so maybe the city can get it back.
