Why might buildings and homes in redlined areas end up in poor condition and disrepair?

Redlining made it difficult for residents and property owners in targeted neighborhoods to get mortgages or home-improvement loans. Without access to loans, owners may not have enough money to maintain, repair, or update their buildings, which can lead to poor condition and disrepair. The correct choice is “Owners are unable to secure loans to improve or repair properties.”
