Give a higher incentive for property owners to increase & improve housing, a reduction in crime, stabilization of declining areas, increased property values, increased consumer purchasing power at local businesses, reduced vacancy rates, increased local fiscal revenues, encouragement and increased viability of further development, reduced strain on local infrastructure and services, reduction of suburban sprawl, increased social mix, rehabilitation of property both with and without state sponsorship. One of the most progressive things to happen to downtown Fort Worth in recent years was the removal of the Ripley housing project.
