new rowhomes that were erected on the site of the old highrises. i hope they do some good, but i think they're just window dressing put there so people driving up and down martin luther king boulevard don't have to see what a mess the neighborhood is on the other side of them. i wish the city would instead put its efforts into improving the neighborhood, then rehabbing the vacant houses that are already here.

unfortunately, that would first require ending the prohibition on drugs, which i don't see happening until it's much too late.
