Bill Pulte's plan for demolishing abandoned houses in inner cities

Pulte's awareness is that abandoned buildings are magnets for crime in inner cities. His solution is tear them down in concentration form by the thousands.

Undiscussed is why rebuilding them in concentrated form is unacceptable. Let's guess. Too expensive, messes with the housing market, not worth the trouble, lowers home values generally.

Young people kill themselves in high numbers because the challenges they face in modern America are too great for them and home ownership is at top of the list along with paying for education required to get employment in advanced society. Those two things put thriving in America out of reach for many young people. From their tender young point of view. Here is a chance to affect that but the money is spent building better cities by destruction instead of rebuilding homes by construction. I suppose you'll say the buildings are too far gone.

Through all the tours that I've watched of all the dilapidated homes in Baltimore, each time I was thinking what it would take to rebuild them and get them back on the market.

But I'm an impractical bleeding heart.

Sock it to me. Set me straight.

Yeah, it's the buildings, that's the problem. Get rid of them and the problem will go away.

Handing them something without earning it is the problem.

The Lefties know that. They need a class of entitled jerks they can always stir up.
