They want city leaders to give the two lots to Durham Community Land Trustees, which is an organization that builds, develops, and advocates for affordable housing. Their plan is to build just that for low-income and long-term community members. bit.ly/3ne7obk

PPS — Also have to praise the amazing work done by the organizers of @DurhamCAN and the Coalition for Affordable Housing and Transit and many others — they prodded and protested and eventually got the city to do the right thing. As I said yesterday, this moment is yours.

This man caught coronavirus in the Durham County jail and then died—but his death record says he died in state prison, in Raleigh The problem? He never even set foot in that prison. Good reporting by ⁦@VirginiaBridges⁩ #ncpol newsobserver.com/news/local/…

Man died after catching COVID-19 in Durham jail. Why didn’t the county or state say so?

Two days before Darrell Wayne Kersey died in a hospital from COVID-19 complications, he was transferred from the county jail to the state prison system.

I remember seeing the ruins pre-demolition touring the area before I moved here in 2009. Massive failure by the city that there’s still no movement. – at Durham, NC
