Why would they demolish houses rather than selling them? Makes no economic sense.
Who would buy a house that would only cost you?
The homeless wouldn't magically have money for rent. So the homes stay empty. Nobody would buy them either because then they'll have to burden the ever increasing costs.
A nominal fee from a heavily discounted sale is still more than spending money on a demolition.
Not to mention demolition requires permitting. Municipalities don't just hand you a permit just because you asked. If you wanted to demolish a perfectly good house, they'd be asking questions.
