Abstract:
Abandoned homes, such as 212 E. Geer St. in Durham, are primarily situated in low-income, minority neighborhoods where lending banks aren’t likely to pay for upkeep. This often leads to a crime problem as squatters, prostitutes, and drug dealers use the property for illegal purposes. This affects the neighborhood community as property values decrease and crime increases as banks let the houses fall apart. In Durham, some community groups are acting to try to renovate houses and make the neighbors a safer place.
