Teams
of hackers have been invited to St. Louis to come up with their best ideas on
how to tackle homelessness. I think it’s a great idea. When they’re done with
that, maybe they can work on something that has been puzzling me for a while.
We
spend tons of money reclaiming neighborhoods and property that have deteriorated
so badly that demolition seems to be the best way to deal with them. Taking
into account such factors as rights of the citizen (no forced relocation or Eminent
Domain tactics), economics (not pouring money into subsidies), etc., how can we
identify and shore up neighborhoods that are starting to go downhill?
I’m
curious about whether they would be able come up with anything.
