Allentown Has 642 Blighted Properties

Hey, they don't call it the "City Without Limits" for nothing. During a Public Safety Committee meeting of Allentown City Council last night, it was revealed that there are 642 blighted properties. Council member Jeanette Eichenwald intends to discuss this problem in a Committee of the Whole at an as yet undetermined date.

    How many votes does Fleck get from the 642 Blighted properties for the Pawlowsi Slate on election day.

    I see Air Products increased their funding for housing rehabs. Where are all the other entities in helping solve the blighted housing problem? Government can't do enough alone to clean up housing.

    Maybe they can form a new committee to study this issue and then make recommendations. That should fix the problem.

    anon7:07,

    That's right, the people we elect to run and manage our cities and municipalities can't possibly be expected to do the job without help from the private sector.
    Can't wait for government run health care.

    There is also the ones that public officials allowed to sell with this presale inspection ordanance that should have the brute orange stickers on them. Too the homes that have been cut up into apartments and the owners are collecting federal housing dollars for that have been passed by public officials, and many many of them should also be decorated with the orange stickers.
    This to is like following the leader/king in Allentown as pay to play is a rule even at the risk of life to the public.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
