Baltimore plans to sell boarded-up houses for $1 each in an attempt to revive neighborhoods that have been plagued by crime and disrepair

1. So they’re selling them for a $1 more than they’re worth.

2. You buy like 500 homes across a huge lot. Rip it down and start from scratch. You’re paying a dollar for land which isnt awful as a long term investment

3. As good of an idea as this may be it just wouldn’t be safe for someone not from the area.

4. I remember Detroit did this. I wonder how they are doing.

5. Detroit did this but you have to bring the homes fully up to code, that’s where all your money goes. However it’s a good idea imo to save older homes.
