1291 - You Can Buy a Property for $1 in Baltimore—Here’s How by Jeff Vasishta
Manage episode 414866745 series 2813754
HBO’s seminal series The Wire put Baltimore’s plight on the map, with crime and urban blight running amok. Now, 16 years after that show ended, it seems little has changed from the city it depicted. The situation has become so desperate that the city is selling off dilapidated buildings for f $1. However, before you dig out the loose change in your pocket to snag a townhouse, remember there are caveats.
There were almost 15,000 abandoned homes in Baltimore as of 2022, blighting the landscape, and Mayor Brandon Scott—as first reported in Bloomberg—is offering up 200 of them virtually free to encourage investors to help transform the beleaguered city. It echoes an initiative that helped change Baltimore in the 1970s.
