[Daily Mail] A dilapidated block of homes in Baltimore has been demolished as part of a $94 million project to tear down a chunk of the 17,000 abandoned homes in the neighborhood. More than 800 crumbling homes have already been razed and this section of Herbert Street in West Baltimore is the latest to be reduced to rubble.
The homes - many of which are riddled with asbestos and lead paint - have come to symbolize the deep social divide in Baltimore.
Roofs have caved in on the abandoned rowhomes, boards are fastened to the doors and window frames and the streets are littered with garbage.
