If you had read them all and collated them, the only conclusion that you could come up with is everything from the river to 10th (or 12th) and from Hamilton north to Tilghman is slated for the wrecking ball. This possibly explains the lack of police activity and enforcement, does it not?????? Run the area into the ground and then lament it's the only solution.....

Forget about the Morning Call, it willingly remains ignorant of the nation’s decline so as not to shed light on many failed and destructive liberal decisions.<br /><br />Agreed, the Morning Call is an untrustworthy source of truth. I suppose the Obituaries are still accurate, at least.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-89806591063768459942022-12-02T09:26:16.720-05:002022-12-02T09:26:16.720-05:00MM - $125,000 would be a bargain if the government...MM - $125,000 would be a bargain if the government is involved. <br /><br />Maybe twenty years ago, a local non-profit rebuilt some homes that had been fire damaged on a small interior road in the city at a cost of over $400,000 per home. The surrounding homes were worth below $100,000 at the time. It made no sense, but public funding was provided anyway.<br /><br />Also, I was reading somewhere about the current public housing project at Lehigh and MLK Boulevard. It seems that the existing apartments had to be torn down despite being much newer that most of the housing in Allentown. So maybe newer isn't always better. <br /><br />And I believe the cost of the new units there works out to about $500,000 each. Again, when the cost of other units in the city is much lower.<br /><br />Apparently, there is nothing that is either "low-cost" or "affordable" about housing when the government is involved. At least not for the taxpayers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951782330457966647.post-87476483698408188762022-12-02T06:55:23.814-05:002022-12-02T06:55:23.814-05:00I stopped looking at the internet page years ago. ...I stopped looking at the internet page years ago.
