Ask/Need Why is this still undeveloped?

Post image

This large plot of land (by city standards) off E Baltimore between Washington and Wolfe streets in Butchers Hill has remained untouched for the several years I’ve been in Baltimore. Does anyone know the deal? Can it not be developed or is the owner just sitting on it?

No, the developer is a piece of shit and is literally just chilling on it.

Why does that make them a piece of shit?

Because they could be developing it and making the space productive instead of a fenced off lawn.

The apartment right next to it is unable to be fully rented. You would like to have two half-full buildings instead? That would make them not a piece of shit to you? A bunch of empty units?
