A rundown house affects everyone's property values on the block, but a blighted building downtown affects everyone's property values in the entire community.

And yet cities will enforce residential property codes without hesitation while refusing to hold downtown property owners to the same standard.

Why? Because being punitive isn't fun. It's combative. It upsets people.

But you know what else upsets people? Watching their downtown rot while a handful of property owners do nothing.

Everyone shoulders the cost of vacant property except the people who own it.

That has to change.
