For example, let's say her voucher is $1000 so her adjusted rent is $250 and disability is $750, ok, so her income is 3x her adjusted rent...BUT can someone live on $500 including utilities and food? 

In the summer it’s the place to be, bands and food trucks behind the brewery every Friday night.

Owning these remotely would especially be difficult, between tenant turnover, the frequency of vacancy and squatters in the area, and the continuing heroin epidemic there (hence why the forfiture rate was as high as it was anyway).That being said, Shift Capital is already in the area investing millions in mixed industrual/commercial/art spaces, and allegedly owns over 150 residential parcels in their portfolio... so they would be the ones to talk to regarding remote property management. 

Checking the parcel site, it looks like the house has been in the family since the 60's. 

I know the example the city cited re: the vacant parcel tax was a weekly farmer’s market.

A landlocked, mostly flood plain parcel....I would just see if one of the neighbor wants to buy it.

Essential means things like rent/mortgage, food, ... and not much else.No vacations for the immediate future. 

Just food for thought...
