Tough question, not because there's no answer, but because there are too many. Lower taxes, special empowerment zones and tax increment financing districts, brownfields incentives, and government condemnation and rehabilitation have gone a long way to help some areas here.

With a declining population, some areas will simply be vacated and left for rubble, you realize.
