are they trying to gentrify that area? cause if they are that area is pretty rough so it might be a hard selling point for them or is it affordable/mixed income/low income housing |

Do you have a link for these housing plans? |

How About Building a New Police Station on That Vacant Lot?
Sounds Like a Good Idea To Me!
Or Maybe A New Airport
