Reply to comment by ice_cold_fahrenheit in Five houses targeted for demolition in Mount Vernon historic district by Rubysdad1975

I agree with you. Change in moderation can be revitalizing, even if it's a bit counterintuitive for a historic district. That block in particular feels lifeless. Though instead of demolishing places I wish they would build on top of all of those parking lots in Mount Vernon. It's ridiculous how many there are.

There will be one more when they demolish this. They just are being clever by calling it "hardscaping."

Exactly. Not to mention that these houses are blighted beyond repair (even if it doesn’t look like it). That said I do wish they would replace it with additional housing.
