Frankly, I don't see any problem with the city tearing down abandoned properties. However, I DO have a problem with city officials like Ms. Gray, who apparently have no clue about market realities.
Wow. Just...wow.
Does Ruth have any clue what she is talking about? At least Jane recognizes that these properties are a lost cause and it would be better to cut the city's losses.
Turn it into green space and be done with it. You're never going to turn a profit on these!
Thanks for reading and most importantly—thanks for paying attention. Don’t forget, these houses were NOT abandoned. SEO is in possession of the exterior and interior city inspection reports for 4 years prior to the demolition of the 9 houses. They were NOT in disrepair. That calls into question the purpose and intent stated on the original legislation…something about “to provide housing.” Why tear down perfectly good brick duplex homes which already blend into the neighborhood? City official’s battle cry of heinous people living in the rented homes doesn’t justify spending $2 million to buy the homes and then knock them down claiming that it’s being done to… provide housing.
WOW!
I FEEL LIKE THAT COMMERCIAL,WOW,THATS A LOW PRICE....
