Baltimore? That’s about as appealing as owning a home in Memphis. Which, is to say, it’s the waste of $1.

Awwww, that’s so sweet, Baltimore? What’s next? Maybe offer me a commercial retail space for $1 and proof that I can fund a local convenience store to solve your food desert problem? Maybe you have a bridge you can throw in, for another buck? Oops, did I say “bridge”? I’m so sorry!

They did this when William Donald Schaefer was mayor (the only Democrat I’ve ever had any respect for) and the program was very successful. But that was a different time and a different political climate.

There will be few takers.

Anyone with enough money to renovate has enough money to move away from Baltimore.

This is a good indicator of areas NEVER to move anywhere NEAR.

One-thousand alien invaders with $90 each can cover the dollar asset requirement.

Move ‘em in.

There are rural areas where $90,000 will buy a decent home outright.

Thirty or forty years ago this was happening and they called it Urban Homesteading. I think it led to some good gentrification of some formerly terrible areas.

I was 18 in 1972 when I escaped the obvious awful government of Michigan in general and Detroit in particular.

I can hardly believe anyone still lives there.
