From the transcript

So our current facility is next to, like, a very notorious meth house, and then it was able to be demoed by the city, and it really, as a result, made the park safer. And what I find is that these places tend to get foreclosed by out-of-state banks, and it's just such a nightmare to come out of it in a neighborhood like Belmont, you get held hostage by it.
