Hopefully, the developer is looking at buying and razing some of these properties to get rid of this blight.

That would be nice of him wouldn't it? RuthtomNorma, KittyKat, TippyClub, me and a male poster whose name escapes me tried to help a foreclosed on couple and it turned out to be a lot more complicated than we thought.
Sometimes these properties are owned by heirs in dispute, by the bank, and sometimes people are literally squatting in them who do not want to move or relinquish them for various and sad and not logical reasons.
You can't buy anything if it isn't for sale.
I feel sure that the Morse's would love to see everything well maintained just like we all do, but sometimes it is not an easy fix. Or even a hard fix. The properties are owned by the property owners and the developer has no say other than to follow the deed restrictions and fine them.
