BALTIMORE — Baltimore has around 13,000 vacant properties throughout the city.
Today, Mayoral Candidate Thiru Vignarajah announced how he would tackle them.
He went through a five-point plan in front of a previously renovated dollar home in South Baltimore.
The plan includes ending tax sales of owner-occupied properties, restarting the dollar homes program with low-interest loans, and raising taxes on abandoned properties.
He also plans to seize and sell dangerous properties as well as support developments to bring seniors back to the city.
