The following images of overgrown- vacant houses were 'borrowed' from a fellow local blogger's site- Toellner Tells It.
These are vacant or "feral" houses that are waaaay too many- making KC-MO looking like a third-world city.
Mr. Toellner also posts about a community meeting in Midtown- brought about by recent murders on Armour Boulevard.
Toellner notes the city's HUD Section 8 policies contribute to high crime areas.
My take?
Kansas City-MO should NOT give our so much as one cent of TIF to ANY DEVELOPER until the increasingly bad housing/neighborhood conditions- spreading through older neighborhoods like a California wildfire (including ours)- are addressed!
