Playing devil's advocate, should we worry about duplicate content? There would be 100s of pages that all had different titles/h1s, but very similar content (just different nearby cities).
In general, I like this idea.

Yea it is definitely a viable option. Just wondering if there would be an added benefit to passing the link juice through a 301, especially if there isn't a penalty for turning it off/on.

301 a page and then remove the 301posted in Intermediate & Advanced SEO
I have a real estate website that has a city hub page. All the homes for sale within a city are linked to from this hub page.
Certain small cities may have one home on the market for a month and then not have any homes on the market for months or years. I call them "Ghost Cities". This problem happens across many cities at any point in time. The resulting city hub pages are left with little to no content.
We are throwing around the idea of 301 redirecting these "Ghost City" pages to a page higher up in the hierarchy (Think state or county) until we get new homes for sale in the city. At that point we would remove the 301.
Any thoughts on this strategy? Is it bad to turn 301s on and off like that? Thanks!
