There's an ongoing case in my hometown with this landlord basically who tore down a bunch of 1800s wooden houses in a former working class area in the town, to build like larger apartment buildings and all that. He wanted to tear it all down to maximise how much money he could get from the lots, but there is still two houses remaining. I believe it has been ongoing for 15 years straight now and he gets fined every single day for letting them rot and do no maintenance whatsoever. The commune is trying to figure out whether they are legally able to withdraw his property ownership and take over the houses, while he is trying to see if he can win it legally. I think they're both fredet now which makes it quite a challenge lmao : ) It's very sad because I've seen throughout my life time that especially one of them has gone from being a rather nice looking old house to look like if there exists ghosts they're all there.
It's so sad when that happens. It hurts my heart
Capitalism is truly beautiful obviously

That's not the case with the house I linked here, I think what has happened with it is the same that has happened pretty much everywhere in Northern Norway in particular, people have moved away to bigger cities, and the ownership has been in a family that doesn't really care or something like that. In the districts of Norway there is sooooooooooooo many abandoned houses that have suffered the same fate as this house, it is truly tragic and should not be legal.
It's still sad to see them just rot like that. There should be something that kind of supported those 'fredet' properties instead. To restore as time passes
