Same everywhere I think. As an alternative to prison for some offenders, I’d like to see them trained to operate heavy equipment and put to work doing demolition work. If they screw up, they get to break rocks in the hot sun instead.
Yup. 1159 Harrison street Gary Indiana was the first street view I randomly zoomed in on. It is clearly abandoned along with the next two houses. 50 feet away on the other side of the street are nice little bungalows with well kept lawns.
Its an urban thing resulting from urban governance.
