'Mow to Own' started for vacant lots in New Orleans

Beginning Friday, more than 100 vacant city-owned lots throughout New Orleans will be made available to people who live next door, a statement from the mayor's office said.
"The program offers neighbors who own property adjacent to a blighted lot the opportunity to apply to take care of and eventually purchase such vacant lots," the statement said.
People who live adjacent to these properties can extend their yards or home into them, depending on zoning and land use regulations — but people wishing to push out the borders of their property need first apply to the program.
quote:
New Orleans residents who qualify must agree to maintain the property for at least one year then pay for the lot's assessed value.
The city will deduct $875 from the total cost of the purchase, and that deduction represents the cost of maintaining the lot for the year.
Applicants will have to make a deposit of $650 if they're approved.

The people in my neighborhood can’t even mow their primary yard much less an adjacent lot

This will end well when 3-4 people start claiming that they actually own the property.

So you get to do yard work in a blighted property for a $875 deduction off the price to own said blighted property?

Who owns the lots?

This is really stupid. I'm guessing it was a liberal passing this legislation

There's going to be some shady shenanigans coming out of that program.

You spend the time mowing it for a year then you get to buy it?
How New Orleans is this stupid program

So NOLA is willing to sell you lots they don’t want? Gee thanks. :/

And if the lot happens to be covered in bird shite, they can claim it for the USA.

So you up keep the property for a year, then the value you go up due to the property not being blighted anymore? And that’s supposed to be a win? Why not just pay the delinquent taxes and you own it just like every other place in the state?

Guarantee the first question will be, "Why cantz the city come mows it fer me?"

Pretty smart, assessment probably goes up after being maintained for a year.
