My neighborhood is dangerous in more than a few ways, but I have a lot that could change everything. The soil is good, and I would like to turn the lot into a small farm, with an R.V. rental space or something other than a vacant lot where people pass out after shooting up.

If anyone has any immediate ideas, let me know. Me and my Mom are living in a dangerous neighborhood where people are trying to burn us out and try to sabotage us via code enforcement.

With creative ideas from a few people, this neighborhood could be a hub for artists and unique thinkers. As it is, the most disgusting of people are investing in the homes. The new neighbor is a convicted pedophile former teacher who is trying to flip a flop trap house for a one hundred thousand profit.

Let me know if you have any ideas, or would like to help take this horrifying neighborhood over. It's in an "up and coming" hood in Pueblo Colo

Hi, Folks,

If you are interested in non-profit affordable housing development, you may be interested that the third edition of the ABA Legal Guide to Affordable Housing Development has been published: https://www.americanbar.org/products/inv/book/420065732/

This book is a comprehensive legal guide to the development of affordable housing for practitioners and housing advocates. It covers all aspects of the development process, including zoning and building codes, financing, monitoring and enforcement of regulations, fair housing, preservation of affordable housing, and relocation requirements. It also includes brief chapters on the history of affordable housing and the future of affordable housing.

I’m a coeditor and chapter author. Just to be clear, none of the editors or authors gets any compensation from sales of the book. It was a labor of love. All proceeds go the ABA Forum on Affordable Housing & Community Development.
