Because it cannot be virtual and cannot be overridden. This is 
different than Python, but in line with other C-style languages 
(and the lower level implementation)

Use a property function instead to achieve this.

abstract class A
{
   protected @property abstract int attr(); // a getter for attr
   protected @property abstract attr(int); // a setter for attr, 
if desired
}

class B : A
{
    override @property int attr() { return 0; } // implementation
}
