Ok close them then? The city can buy the empty property and use it for exactly the same thing. You've already done the work of determining the most profitable locations for stores which is really useful. The city can use the profit turned on these ideal locations to operate stores in areas you would usually not bother with because the profit isn't there.
why buy?
Path of least resistance. They will launch dozens of court cases about it if you try and seize it for a socialist and their socialist plans, not to mention some of those cases will go in front of judges hostile to socialists and set precedents we don't want.
Yeah I know libs have seized stuff before but they'll do it purely because it's a socialist doing it for socialist plans.
It's socialism in one city so they are subject to the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie
It's a one time expense that isn't even that huge in order to meaningfully shift at least a facet of the relations of production. Expropriation is cool but it's not worth it here if you can afford to buy the plots.
You’re assuming spiteful billionaire will willingly part with them.
Eminent domain is always am option
That's not going to happen. The upper class will lose their shit if even a single 200 sq ft air lot is eminent domained.
