Over 14,000 vacant houses are scattered across Democrat-controlled Baltimore City, an issue we’ve been reporting on for years — refer to our 2018 article “One Baltimore Neighborhood Has The Highest Vacancy Rate In America.”
Six decades of Democrats in City Hall have transformed the once-thriving metro area just above Washington, DC, into a ‘rat-infested hellhole.’ Now the city leadership (even more progressive than before) has a cunning plan to reverse the rot.
Local media outlet WJZ reports Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott has proposed a plan to throw billions of dollars at the more than 14,332 vacant homes to rebuild them, such as the ones featured below…
Scott partnered with The Greater Baltimore Committee, a non-profit focused on improving the region’s business climate, and BUILD, an inter-faith development group, to rid the city of vacant homes through a proposed multi-billion dollar plan.
“One person can’t do it. One entity can’t do it. One organization can’t do it,” said Pastor Brent Brown from BUILD, which stands for Baltimoreans United in Leadership Development.
Brown said, “One politician can’t do it. It’s going to take community.”
BUILD published a study that indicated at least $7.5 billion is needed to address the vacancy problem in the city. There are entire neighborhoods with vacant row homes.
“Having vacant after vacant after vacant, it can put you, really, in a depressed state,” Baltimore resident Edith Gilliard told WJZ.
Publishers Notes: Coming Soon To Salisbury Maryland.
And they’ll get most of it from this liberal Governor. He’ll throw more money away than Biden. Just watch.
Baltimore is a shitzhole and will always be a Shitzhole.
Waste of money at this point. There are no real industries to support good jobs left if these homes get rebuilt . This is a huge waste of money and only puts lipstick on the pig.
$7.5 Billion to knock down old and replace with new.
(1) there is no money to do that…..
(2) unless there are private investors….just like DC did.
What happened? The blight was removed with new, shiney and expensive. Those that couldnt afford move elsewhere.
Just what baltimore needs, removal of the blight and let those who cant move to the suburbs
I’m sure Salisbury will accept all those poor who are displaced.
WHERE IS THE MONEY COMING FROM? NOT MD TAX PAYERS. They will move these poor and immigrants to SALIBURY to fill the NEW CONDOS being built on MAIN ST
This will be the future of Salisbury if development continues as it is.
