Black American local business communities in the city really need to learn how to set up and effectively use hyper local sub political entities like Management Districts and TIRZs to get shyt like this cleaned up and fund other infrastructure projects to make these places more livable.
The city is just way to slow to act and/or doesn't place these communties on a high priority. At least with TIRZs and Management Districts commercial tax dollars go towards their particular neighborhood entity ONLY so they can use it to fund and manage their own issues and not the city government as a whole.
There's a reason why messican barriors like Near Northside and Airline Dr area at least LOOK cleaner and also have better infrastructure and amenities even though those neighborhoods are just as poor and dangerous if not more than nearby black communities like 5th ward and Kashmere garden.
Their local businsses communties run effective TIRZs and Management districts.
