LCDC Spruces Up Fortgrounds Rentals

Item: Rundown CdA rentals get some pseudo-repairs: LCDC spruces facades of buildings headed for wrecking ball/Becky Kramer, Spokesman-Review

More Info: The agency spent $8,000 to paint the front of the houses, tear down rotting fences and hire a lawn service after Fort Grounds neighbors complained that the agency charged with removing blight was promoting it.

Question: Is this a good use of urban renewal district money?
