What else should people know about your site:
The idea behind the blog was to open the door for discussion around the city about an issue that previously received very little consistent attention -- really, none, unless it was an election year. The problem of vacant blighted homes is one that has plagued many cities across the country -- yet Baltimore refuses to address the issue in a comprehensive, sustainable way. My hope is I have been able to start a dialog, one that continues until the problem has been resolved.
