  1. Demolition by neglect is not acceptable. Condemn these derelicts as public hazards. If the owners won’t renovate, seize them under eminent domaine and auction them off. Get heritage preservation authority if necessary. It would cost the town nothing and tax revenues on those properties would increase. Get tough. Us “come-heres” will restore these former jewels. I know; I did one. Outsiders turn things around.

    1. Eminent domain would not be an option. Eminent domain is the taking of private land/property for public use. Reselling to another private owner is not for public use.
