I am happy to hear this property got cleaned up. I think the reason I got nominated the NCDC is that I know what we have been living with for years and while the process of demolition needs local monitors on the ground, I know that we have a unique opportunity to put federal funds to good use in making our neighborhoods cleaner and safer. It's the hardest thing I do, to say yes to a 'free demo' for slumlords, but I know how bad it is to live next to them and the reality of the money it really takes to refurbish them. I am glad this one got cleaned up. I am swamped in the committee work this week. Maybe I can get to a post about my personal hell tomorrow. I am giving it 110% right now, while I can. Monday is our meeting. So I have been chucking through packets and photos from Karen online. It's got to level off. We are backlogged. Trying to get caught up but not, you know, sucked in. I'll come by tomorrow and see for myself. Wow, Craig, we need a photo! I am happy to hear this property got cleaned up.
