English Avenue Neighborhood in Danger

[MobyGoCollection]

that's a damn shame. you know some of that debris from those old apartments must have asbestos and lead paint in it— my grandfather died from mesothelioma from asbestos. the city lets neighborhoods that don't have a large tax base go. there needs to be something done, first and foremost about the debris and trash on properties and roads. secondly the owners of these properties need to be found and fined for leaving homes in this condition so that drug addicts and dealers can use them.

It's interesting that the narrator wants the city to come fix it, and the comment below that "the city" is letting the Bluff die... why don't local residents just go and clean these properties up?

@briangross thing is...why go and clean up properties u dont own using your time and money and other resources, only to have someone else profit!! its not the american way....thing is, if this were Buckhead or Sugarloaf....i wont even finish that statement cause this will never happen in Buckhead or Sugarloaf smh

I live here as well. I'm not scared though and never had a problem with crime. But I agree we need to do more to clean up the neighborhood and really we should all step up and clean up our own blocks instead of waiting for the city or other people who don't give a crap to do it.
