Vacant lots can serve as negative voids, dumping grounds, sites for illegal activity and blighting forces on neighborhoods. However, vacant lots can also serve as an opportunity to IMPROVE quality of life. Residents can obtain vacant lots adjacent to their homes to expand their yards and maintain them in a productive manner. The additional space can be used for picnics, gardens, play space for children, or simply maintained green space.
