 | | Somewhere in the middle is the issue of blight; that is, when a number of properties, through their vacant and deteriorating condition, are encouraging disinvestment, squatting, arson, and generally reducing the ability of the neighbors to enjoy the use of their property, including its economic use. |
 | | Blight is not a situation in which a certain neighborhood, or a certain housing type, becomes unfasionable, and can only command low rents, and low income people move in. |
 | | Blight is a vicious cycle, not simply a step down in "liveliness." And it creeps, sucking in the next few streets, then the next few, and on and on. |
