A side remark. Triggered by comparing abandoned palces with abandoned railways (and smilar), a ghost town with (some) buidlings still standing should be abandoned: ... a ghost town without trace on the ground should be tagged with razed: ... or dismantled: ... , but not with abandoned: ... Example: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/150938807 This is a former town, of which you do no see any trace on the ground any more (apart from a few racks)
