There are good intentions here but this program involves spending a lot of money on properties that have a questionable future. I don’t know why these properties languish in inventory so long, causing them to deteriorate further. Many more properties should be demolished and reconstructed. My experience show that there are never good results from letting vacant properties sit a long time on the market. Written by Paul Dribin
