There are three ...So here's what you do in Memphis. There are three areas of the city that need to be sysmetically abandoned. <BR/>Area 1- North Memphis: New Chicago, Most of Hollywood/Springdale and Douglass. Kind of sucks that we built two brand new high schools, but they could be magnets for large scale redevelopment later. The housing stock in these areas are poor in condition. <BR/>Area 2- Riverview Kansas and almost the entire area between I-55and 240 south of downtown.<BR/>Area 3-Westwood <BR/>All of these areas have been loosing population, especially between 1990 and 2000(24 to 78%). You could let Westwood return to a rural area (much of it is anyway). Level Areas 1 and 2. Leave the roads, powerlines, and sewer lines. perhaps in the future there can be large scale redevelopment. In fill doesn't work because the who is going to build a new house in a neighborhood where houses are worth $20,000. <BR/>It sounds draconian but we going to have to do something.polar donkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15593284213899478126noreply@blogger.com
