Leo’s notes: Milwaukee’s $1 lot initiative is more than symbolic—it’s a practical, community-centered strategy to turn long-neglected spaces into pathways for homeownership. By supporting local developers like Keith Turner and focusing on neighborhoods beyond downtown, the city is demonstrating that affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization go hand in hand. Efforts like this bring lasting value when paired with deep community roots and public commitment.
