"In these neighborhoods, without this sort of intervention there is no market force that allows for a reset of these properties," Rose said. "We have properties that are vacant and the tax burden is increasing every year and new taxes owed every year. The thing that makes them unattractive in the first place is the taxes are higher than the value of the property. At one point there's never a way for these to be turned around. We are resetting these properties and allowing these neighborhoods to receive investment."
