I listed each vacant lot and each abandoned house by address. He hasn't responded. Nothing has been done. Seven months into the Street administration, no one has lifted a finger to help these children. His blight bureaucrats are terrific at talking the talk.
People think their communities are out of control, and that nobody has a plan to make things better.
That's because nobody does. Robert Blackwell sprayed some kids with his garden hose. They break windows with bricks they find in these lots because they don't have anything else to do. Then their parents get to arguing. Their mother, Rachel Mitchell, showed me a vacant lot where the kids tied a garden hose to the branch of a huge tree.
