Hot L Baltimore is a comedy, and the purpose of comedy is to amuse. Comedy has many forms, such as farce and burlesque, and may also include satire and parody. Wilson, for example, uses comedy to point out the problems that occur when cities are too eager to destroy debilitated buildings just because they are old. He sees historical wealth and social value in their preservation and renewal.
