perceived the neighborhoods as so challenged

Challenged, yeah, that's the ticket, we'll call them challenged.

Anyone care to bet that having a city-owned home will improve a neighborhood?

I predict slum expansion...

This is in OHIO.
Those of us who think of another Columbus, can panic a touch less.

ah, help me out here.

I've never been very god at math - BUT “an average of $12,666 ...” for 150 houses.

I upped it to $14,000 x’s 150 and it comes out to a bit over 2 million.

1.9 BILLION spent to buy 150 houses that they paid a bit over 2 million for?

Where’d all the other money go?

Even assuming they're going to rehab these houses - how is that going to come to 1.9 BILLION? What is that? about 12 million each?

Columbus has spent about $1.9 million to buy 150 homes with federal money

WTF do they mean Federal money?
