Harvey today is a city that's full of blight, vacant lots and abandonment. It's has had a rough go of it over the years to put it nicely. The city saw a peak population of 35,000 back in 1980 but today that number is down below 20,000. It's hard to see this community being able to turn it around anytime soon... or... possibly... ever.
