Interesting perspective in the article: "‘Back in Pennsylvania, the free-market Commonwealth Foundation believes land banks 'breed corruption, do a poor job of moving property and therefore have a terrible track record of reducing blight,' spokeswoman Gina Diorio said in an email."
Right, right and right!!! Have we seen a reduction in blight? This Land Bank deal was pushed by the mayor at a school board meeting. He strongly urged them to vote in favor of pursuing this.
Where are the results? I'm sure it takes time, but the public needs to see results to believe in the effort.
