That would take quite a concerted effort. I assume all those buildings are owned by different people/companies, and it doesn't look like they have any intention of changing anytime too soon. Even if one two did it probably wouldn't pay off unless they all followed suit. You would need one or a couple of like minded entities to come in with a revitalization plan and buy them all out. I'm guessing that land is worth quite a bit so they would need some pretty deep pockets. I hear casinos have deep pockets....
