Rooftops Project

Funding and constructing a new $41 million facility may be a once-in-a-generation, if ever, event, for many social service not-for-profits. Choosing a site that invests directly in the neighborhood and the people served can have ripple effects far beyond the central purpose of the delivery of services the buildings are designed to support. The Rooftops Project’s Sahar Nikanjam and Professor James Hagy walked the site of UCAN’s new campus construction under way in the Lawndale neighborhood of Chicago.

Land-Value Taxation As A Method Of Encouraging Growth In Baltimore, Michael Safko Jan 2015

Land-Value Taxation As A Method Of Encouraging Growth In Baltimore, Michael Safko

University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development

The events that occurred last May have left many residents of Baltimore wondering what can be done to rebuild their city better than it was before.1 One particular suggestion is the elimination of all current property taxes along with the implementation of a land-value tax (LVT).2 An LVT would tax property owners based on the unimproved land they own, rather than on the improvements and structures that have been built on the land.3 The argument follows that this method of taxation would incentivize property owners to develop their land, rather than leave it undeveloped so they can pay less in …

Community Development Vs. Economic Development: Residential Segregation, Tax Credits, And The Lack Of Economic Development In Baltimore's Black Neighborhoods, Jennifer Nwachukwu

University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development

In 1967, the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders penned one of the most famous statements about race in America: “Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white— separate and unequal.”2 For the city of Baltimore, MD, that statement rings true even in 2013. Outsiders think of Baltimore through the lens of HBO’s The Wire. Those who are from Baltimore or live in the city likely would say that driving through Baltimore is like driving through two different cities—nice areas with shops, restaurants, and beautiful architecture; and “not so nice” areas with blocks of dilapidated buildings and …

Here To Stay Or A Flash In The Pan? How Zoning And Property Laws May Affect Airbnb In Baltimore And The Nation, Michael Schultes

University of Baltimore Journal of Land and Development

The advent of the Internet, smartphones, and social media has shrunk the world to the point where a person in Baltimore can connect with someone in Botswana with only the click of a finger. Whether it be a social media post or business e-mail, eight thousand miles can feel more like eight feet with how quickly we can connect and converse with people around the globe. The use of these information technology tools and inventions to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data has transformed the way we learn, the way we communicate, and the way we do business.
