The consequences of the city's attempt to rebuild Osage Avenue homes

Even as recently as 2010, many of the rebuilt homes on Osage Avenue remain unoccupied. The buildings were so poorly constructed that residents sued the city, but the city later dismissed the lawsuit. This photo shows what the neighborhood looked like just ten years ago, as many of the row homes are abandoned or boarded up. Not much has changed in the years since.
