For those that claim we have too many incarcerated, yet again proof we do not have nearly enough incarcerated. the lasting legacy of Lyndon B. Johnson.

the only thing that isn't relevant is your reply.

Well that’s a stupid argument.
So an owner dies with no heirs, and no one wants the house. It sits empty.
Are you arguing that the “choice” is with any person who chooses not to buy it?

Locking down repeat offenders for decades would go a long way. Its the same dudes in and out of the system causing most of the crime.

Yes. Are you arguing someone choosing not to buy something is not a choice?
And are you claiming 40+% of empty lots are empty because of condemnation or something similar to the scenario you just laid out?

In your stupid twisted logic, even the decision to condemn it by the government is by choice.
If it’s burned down, that’s a choice.
Crack house? They chose.
You are being obtuse and obscuring the point.

Gov’t loves to put up Section 8 housing near desirable neighborhoods which exacerbates this issue.

Like your point that there’s plenty of room in the rural areas and not the suburbs but ignoring the fact that most of the suburbs used to be the rural areas?
I’m arguing semantics with you because your actual points aren’t worth arguing over yet you’re so convinced you’re correct.

What I more meant was leadership won’t up the policing, up the infrastructural improvements, basically won’t do their fricking job

Because in the central planner’s minds, everyone deserves to live in a beautiful, well run area, even if they actively made their last area worse.

The cities used to be rural areas. It all used to be vacant land.

There are more than 16 million vacant housing units in the U.S. (16,078,532).
5.8% of rental units are vacant, while 1.4% of homeowner units are vacant — a 314% difference.
The overall vacancy rate in the U.S. is 11.6%.
The most vacant city is Orlando, Florida, with an overall vacancy rate of 15.3% and 160,952 vacant housing units.

Tampa, Florida (13.71%)
Birmingham, Alabama (13.23%)
New Orleans (13.1%)
Riverside, California (12.13%)

In Austin it’s the Homeless problem. Taxes on housing to high for there to be any ghettos

This isn’t what’s happening. Your tax $ is paying to house people in the cities.

All those empty houses in Martha’s Vineyard, yet couldn’t handle a few immigrants. How is the country to cope?
