Yes, that makes sense to me. Nashville, TN, where I live, has purchased some houses that were built in flood plains, demolished them, and doesn't allow anything to be built there now. The tag disused:landuse=residential seems like the logical one to use for those vacant lots. I suspect the foundation structures were filled in rather than removed.

I favor "landuse=disused".
English is not my primary language, but it seems a little contradictory here.

"landuse" says that a specific piece of land is being used for something.
Then "disused" says that it's being used for nothing.

I have had problems with this rather literal interpretation of disused.
I have tagged certain quarries as 'disused' because stone is no longer
being harvested. But those quarries are still quarries, are still major
features on the landscape with 100s of metres of quarry faces, and
massive spill heaps. People do walk there, and sometimes there is
informal rock climbing in some of them, but they are not in proper use
for any other purpose: they are quarries.

Yet some people object to them being rendered on the basis of the
superficial contradiction that you highlight.

Maybe we need a tag=out_of_use or some such?  But that is open to the
same literal objection.

'

I think disused is correct ...
but it needs to be applied correctly so that not only OSM 'rules' are done, but it gives some comprehension as to what is going on.

disused:landuse=residential

This gives the under standing that it is disused now, but was a past land use of residential.

Does that help?
