Akin to many vacant lots in Syracuse, New York, the parcels encompassing 1000 E Water St were previously dominated by public housing units (1980s-2010s). As described in the timeline below through Google imagery, these units were demolished shortly after the parcels were re-acquired. Now, the barren site echoes the struggles of Syracuse at large: the escalating housing crisis, marginal tree cover, and decreasing biodiversity… all of which were catapulted by discriminatory redlining practices in the early to mid 20th century.
