Reply to comment by DeliMcPickles in Outside investors are buying up homes in Baltimore’s low-income and Black neighborhoods by aresef

They’re often still vacant, though. They’re just owned by some ought of state corporation intentionally neglecting them to bring down the value in the neighborhoods so they can buy more and eventually bulldoze entire blocks for some ugly corporate bullshit.

Occasionally they’ll rent them out but in the most corporate slumlord sort of manner.

This is not who we want buying houses in Baltimore

that's why I specifically called that out as one of the IFs.

email your council person and say that you want corporate buyers to pay heavy penalties if they do not rent the houses within a year.
