Sorry, but by “right kind of people” I meant “people who have the financial resources to maintain that neighborhood in the condition it’s it”
Cause if you’ve got these big empty houses that the wealthy folks have moved out of, and you insist that is can only be a single family dwelling and you can’t tear it down and build lower income housing, then you are left with only two courses: either they stay empty and eventually fall into ruin, or the cost goes down down down until eventually you get a lower income buyer who cannot afford to maintain these grand old manicured properties and they fall into disrepair anyway.
I under stand their concern. But I don’t understand their solution. What on earth do they want? They want the “right” kind of people to buy the houses and live in them and keep them pretty. Right?
But it seems like Those buyers just aren’t there. Wasn’t that house on the corner for sale of ages?
