You can look at Fixed Asset Tax records, but that doesn’t help when the owner is deceased and isn’t paying anymore. How can you be a buyer when there is no seller? The answer is you can’t, and so the property remains vacant and abandoned.

I were looking for what exactly constitutes a "vacant plot" and found the above interesting point.
Couldn't find a clear definition of what constitutes a "vacant plot", but it appears to have to do with tax cuts for buildings which requires maintenance of some sort. So converting the plot into a public park or installing a statue would likely not result in lower taxes at the very least.
When I first read that vacant plots are taxed more, my initial thought was, if one digs deep enough into the reasons for any and every social ill, one will find some government policy, rule, law or regulation as the root cause.
Politicians yet again failing to understand human nature and yet again failing to solve any issues.
