Baltimore's Biotech Bid

"In the hollowed-out neighborhood known as Middle East, three blocks from the Johns Hopkins University Medical School... on streets where cardboard signs announce that 'drug trafficking or loitering is not permitted in this block anytime,' Baltimore is trying to attract a different kind of drug business: biotechnology. Invoking eminent domain, the city will soon evict 250 families and over the next year demolish 300 houses to make way for a 2 million square-foot office park, wiping out an entire neighborhood in a project redolent of 1960s-era slum clearance."
