In Olney MD three historic homes were burned after the developers were told they could not plow them down to build their housing project or strip shopping centers. Funny how mother nature seems to always favor crass commercialism.

Not far from this venerable old Baltimore building, the St Vincent Orphanage was demolished, one weekend by a developer. Naturally city hall was silent.

To be fair, they did get a massive fine, but that was from the Dept. of the Environment because there was asbestos EVERYWHERE from the demolition.

Just the cost of doing business. Probably still made money
