Philadelphia's War On Blight Draws Neighborhood Praise
Most residents in the Tioga neighborhood are pleased with the neighborhood's transformation after demolitions as part of an anti-blight initiative.
As part of Mayor Street's Neighborhood Transformation Initiative (NTI), "the city has torn down more than 90 of 158 abandoned and dangerously dilapidated rowhouses targeted for demolition in Tioga, dramatically changing the neighborhood landscape. About 30 demolitions are under way."
