I agree but very often demolitions create bigger eyesores. Worcester was once home to many mills and factories that eventually were demolished. There are hundreds of acres of empty lots covered by crumbling concrete, weeds and debris in Worcester. There are some that have been rehabilitated, are clean but empty. The majority are forgotten and unfortunately many are brown fields and expensive to rehabilitate and with no advantage to do so they remain as they are. Downtown real estate in Worcester is not very desirable The Denholm building can't attract tenants, what would a vacant lot do?
