Reply to comment by Electrical_Appeal_21 in Five houses targeted for demolition in Mount Vernon historic district by Rubysdad1975

Regardless of the percentage of time that it’s open, I almost never see anyone utilizing the space. It’s a complete waste, and I remember when there used to be actual housing there.

So much for the church serving the people 🙄

Interestingly enough, the Archdiocese of Baltimore has several charities that deal in housing, education, healthcare, and food security. We are, of course, a nation of laws. The Church has a constitutional right to do with its property as it pleases, within the bounds of local zoning laws. I’m sure the Church does not consider it a waste of space. Otherwise, it would not have built it. If I were upset about this, I’d be displeased with my elected officials than private entities. Perhaps their intervention could have prevented this. But, I’m not from here; my rationale is obviously out of place here.

Have a blessed holiday season.
