"Since Sassi moved to Pigtown in 2005, he has become known as an unofficial enforcer for the neighborhood. With newly renovated $300,000 row homes just doors down from ramshackle “adandonminiuns” as they are known, Sassi said as homeowner he has little choice but to fight."

Anyone who pays $300k for a house in Pigtown must be using even more crack than the hookers described in the story.

I used to live in Pigtown and the prostitution was bad back in the late 1980's and most of the 1990's.I am glad that people are fighting back.A couple I grew up with a guy who was shot to death back in the early 1990's who tried to his neighborhood from the drug dealers.

You see the people in these marginal neighborhoods whining because they spend $300K for a house with the rooftop "balcony" and granite countertops. If the activity in the neighborhood bothers one so much perhaps they should pony up $400K and get a home in a quieter spot, or put up with the hookers and the dealers long enough for the neighborhood to turn. I also wonder how often these exact folks call the police and chase the hookers around. You get what you get.

Most people who live in Pigtown didn't pay $300,000 for a home. The median price is probably around $150,000. Regardless of the price paid for a house no one deserves to live in fear and filth. No neighborhood should be abandoned by corrupt Baltimore police officers who have sex with prostitutes, protect drug dealers and do nothing to protect the honest, hard-working, tax-paying citizens who strive to make Baltimore a better place.
