Revitalization of Poor Communities:

Some ideas for the abandoned warehouses in high-crime areas. Couldn't they be replaced with the following:

American Red Cross Blood Bank Centers
(We need more blood, non-contaminated blood donations to victims of violent crimes, gang shootings, knifings, brawling at bars, nightclubs, drunk driving car accident victims, and IV drugs users' sexual violence, which elevates the community's HIV and Hepatitis C rates. The more well-monitored, and numerous  the blood banks, the higher the chances of survival).
