The higher value is the one that requires more effort on all of our parts. Are we up to it?<br /><br />The saveLockporthousing group that is starting to flesh out could be one of those successful civic ventures like the one posted on above.<br /><br />The west side of Buffalo is probably closer to a "war zone" with actual murders each year and such. Yet the allure of walk-ability, The Elmwood strip, being apart of something close knit, saving a piece of history, etc give it the fuel to turn around. With zero murders in our "war zone" in years the path has the possibility of an being easier.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08897623569897105078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926052286620522481.post-4478859237898162382011-11-02T19:22:47.286-04:002011-11-02T19:22:47.286-04:00savelockporthousing.comsavelockporthousing.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926052286620522481.post-10536795583252932062011-11-02T16:58:29.808-04:002011-11-02T16:58:29.808-04:00This is a great idea, I wish it would hapen here.
...This is a great idea, I wish it would hapen here.<br />It is the total opposite of HV spending $1,000,000 per house and increasing rental density. Fix what we have up, give incentives not to demolish, and give tax breaks for converting houses back to 1 or 2 family homes. If you could get proud homeowners living in the war zone it could become the de-milaterized zone!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
