Sinopsis

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Brandon Soderberg, reporter on Baltimore for the Real News Network and coauthor of the book, "I Got A Monster: The Rise and Fall of America's Most Corrupt Police Squad" to discuss Baltimore’s issues with vacant properties that both contribute to gentrification and pose danger to the communities they are in, the refusal of Baltimore officials to address the issue despite solutions being proposed in the past, and the city’s pursuit of evictions and eminent domain on working and poor communities, its refusal to enforce housing codes or practice eminent domain on properties owned by housing developers, and how this situation exposes who local government actually works for.
