Reply to comment by thinkmoreharder in Study shows among low-income, predominantly Black neighborhoods, that inexpensive, straightforward abandoned housing remediation was directly linked to significant relative reductions in weapons violations and gun assaults, and suggestive reductions in shootings. by Respawan

From the article:

Interventions
The study consisted of 3 arms: (1) full remediation (installing working windows and doors, cleaning trash, weeding); (2) trash cleanup and weeding only; and (3) a no-intervention control.

Kinda checks out, I was looking at real estate in Baltimore, and the crappy areas had trash all over. There is a nice lady in the area who is trying to clean the area up, but people keep illegally dumping there.
