According the the Artvoice article the people moving are given fair market value for their home. All moving costs are paid for, and the new house must follow several guidelines. Such as, multi-children families have 1 room for every 2 children (except a boy and a girl must have separate rooms). As well as, in the event the new home costs more than the old home, the authority pays the difference.
While I think most of the neighborhood does not deserve to be demolished, nor do I believe these people should be forced out of their homes. I know and you know some online petition isn’t going to do a damn thing.
Sorry Buffalo, corrupt/inept politicians will be the death of you.
