How to overcome the issue of high price of houses that leads to unoccupied houses

[Sincerem]

This is a very serious thing in my country currently especially the capital city where several Estate houses where built that so many people can't afford their prices and so the owner of such houses leaves the house empty and unoccupied for as long as he can.
Going through the highbrow area of Abuja the capital city of Nigeria, you will notice a silhouette of beautiful arranged similar houses, if you check them, they are all empty because of the outrageous prices put on them.
Now this issue is generating a buzz right now, how can we remedy the situation, how can the government remedy this situation? Please Iets discuss this.

Instead of them leaving such property empty for that longer period of time , they should have just rented it out for people to leave. That Will have them make some money through not suitable for land you are willing to sell anytime soon.

If the property remains unoccupied because of the high price, why let it remain unoccupied by setting a high price for the rent, why not lower your rent to that it will get renters and you start collecting rental income?

I read it in One news that there are more on occupied houses in the West than homeless people. This is of course as a result of high prices of rent. So if it is lowered the problem will be solved.

Most of the big houses with high rentage fee are being vacated by the occupant because they don't have enough money to keep maintaining the apartment simply because of the high price .
