From city gov website:

"As of February 15, 2022, there are 14,989 vacant properties and only 1245 of those are owned by the City government. Properties that are privately owned must go through due process before the City can act to demolish those properties or make plans to take ownership and bring them back into productive use."

So, let's assume that to renovate or demo/rebuild those properties costs on average around $100k to $500k each, for an avg of $300k each, you'd be looking at around:

$4,500,000,000

Aka $4.5 billion.

Goodness.. Tell me more about this brawl??

Yep. It was a family-friendly spot that was big enough for community gatherings and casual hangs. Loved seeing parents with kids out on those picnic tables.

To all the people saying this area is weird or sketch: sure, but families live here and like living here and there are a ton of new spots along York Rd that have made the area feel so much safer thanks to the added foot traffic.

Thanks for posting this here! The weekly events thread is impossible to find. Also, glad your trivia is back!

So many great beers to choose from here in Bmore, and one's appreciation for each one changes depending on your palette at the time.

I'll nominate the Astrodon Hazy IPA from Peabody Heights, Zadie's Lager from Union, and Key Brewery's Positive Mental Attitude Pilsner.
