Across the nation communities tend to develope or not on their own. No matter how much taxpayer money is pumped into these areas, the free market will determine value and not a gov't agency.

The CRA takes taxpayer money and distributes it as they see fit, and hopes that redistribution of taxpayer funds results in increased revenues, resulting in more gov't obfiscation of taxpayers money. Win-lose. Let the free market determine redevelopemnt areas, as has been witnessed on Saxon west of I-4.

Pumping taxpayers' money into Blighted Areas? Easy for the Politicians to put your good money against bad private property.

Incidently, my Homestead Shack needs a new roof, a paint job, new appliances, a new water heater, etc... How do I get Free Money to redevelope my area? Of course, I'm not qualified, yet my property taxes are going toward the inevitable "Creative Destructionism" that has occured across our Nation.

Sounds like Mary Ann Conners needs more time to come up with a more plausible explanation of how to fleece the Taxpaying Public.
