Somehow, the answer to your question has to be that building owners aren't paying a price for having crummy elevators.
There are some interesting factors in real estate that people don't price in when buying, but later realize they don't like. The two examples that come to mind are closet space and basements in residential real estate. I've heard that both of those are declining, because people don't pay attention to them while house hunting.

good points, people are so fixated on square footage and number of bedrooms that they also neglect hard-to-quantify aspects of a home like who the architect was
