Rehabbing these houses, for either use by immigration, the people in the neighborhoods now or homeless is just putting a bandaid on a literal bullet wound. Until the violence in the streets in stopped, nothing but bulldozers should be brought in to level these eyesores. A culture of violence and victimization has been cultivated and promoted by those living in these neighborhoods, and it needs to be rooted out and changed. Bringing in new people will only inject more victims to these areas and start the cycle over again. Baltimore needs to gentrify, or at the very least clean up, these neighborhoods and the first step would be to tear down these derelicts and stop the incubation of violence.
