If the areas are abandoned, what difference does it make whether the cities are mostly black or not? No one is living there. I could be wrong, but if no one’s viable property is being razed, what’s the diff?

Former Philadelphian here. I never, ever saw abandoned houses, graffiti on houses, and just general trash as I saw when I moved to Philadelphia. It was quite depressing - I had never seen that level of squalor, over so much of the city, as I had in Philly - and I came from DC.

I went back a couple of years ago for a conference and took the trolley up to my old neighborhood. The housing values had skyrocketed, but boy, I would never live there now. I’m happy to be out of that cesspit.

So they build sky scrapers in his honor which will be burned out and/or garbage laden within a few years. I was shocked when I first drove by those in Chicago.
I remember a cockroach expert who was called into such a structure to develop a control plan. When he found out the elevator didn't work because it was garbage filled to about a dozen floors he gave up. I don't trust 0 to bulldoze the bad for good but vice versa.
