Could it be? Focus on blight, advocacy from the top, breaking down silos (involvement of over 12 departments), creative marketing and approaches to community engagement, and clear and direct communication.? All of these seem to be in play in Cherelle Parker and City of Philadelphia"One Philly, United City Cleaning Initiative".? This quote from Carlton Williams, Director of Clean and Green Initiatives demonstrates common sense logic but unfortunately isn't often found or seen in other communities. “History has demonstrated that efforts from a one-time cleaning of the entire city cannot be maintained alone. Preventive measures, enforcement and support from residents and businesses to keep their areas clean is necessary to sustain cleaning efforts”. Congrats and best wishes for continued success!!

A recent report announced “co-owned homes” are banned in Indian Wells (CA). This follows a “controversial” process in Palm Springs where it was allowed, albeit with significant restrictions. While initially it appeared to primarily involve high-end luxury homes? ,?an article from?Strong Towns??from earlier this year asks “Is Co-Buying the Future of Homeownership?” Perhaps too early to know, but what will the impact be to local governments when any of these home are vacated, abandoned or otherwise become a nuisance.

A tax that would levy taxes on owners of buildings that were vacant 182 or more days in a tax year that was approved by San Francisco voters in November 2022, has been struck down by a judge. Opponents argued that the measure violated their right to keep their property vacant and was an unconstitutional confiscation of their property.
