If you live in the eastern part of Columbia Heights, Park View or Pleasant Plains, there's a meeting tonight at the Park View Rec Center (Warder and Otis, a block east of Georgia) about vacant properties. Councilmember Elissa Silverman, who has been working on the issue, will also attend.
It seems like there are fewer vacant properties in our area, but it's still definitely an issue. They are often havens for crime, stashing stolen stuff, and just generally looking crappy. They also mean those properties aren't contributing taxes or being used productively.
Here's more from the the Park View United Neighborhood Coalition, who are putting the meeting on.

Wed. 9/6, 7 pm - Park View United Neighborhood Coalition meeting re. vacant properties
Shucks, missed it, but we are dealing with a bummer of a vacant house situation next door. Is there a place where minutes or outcomes or "next steps" are communicated from the meeting? Thanks!
