Traveling through baltimore via train I used to be amazed at the number of buildings which were neglected but otherwise appeared to be structurally sound (from a distance). i’m surprised that removing them creates more opportunity than keeping them.
“...i’m surprised that removing them creates more opportunity than keeping them.”
Hint: They’re not going to replace them with tenements or Section 8 housing, I bet. (Can you say “Gentrification?” :)
The hard part, of course, will be to convince anyone to move there with the surviving parts of Baltimordor so close.
Even if they’re structurally sound, you still want to get rid of then because they tend to turn into crackhouses.
