CBGBs - Depressing Photo

So here's the depressing reality of CBGBs' current state -- I took this photo a few days ago. I wonder why tenants get evicted, basically, when landlords jack-up rents, but the landlord has no new tenant, as this photo reveals. Wouldn't it make more sense to have let CBs stay in this location until the area was actually rented to a new tenant? I guess I'm just not that smart. Well, we can all hope this space sits here empty for months on end as some sort of mild retaliation.
