It is a very sad situation.
Wow, how sad, seems like this would be a place a little stimulus money could go along way! Such a waste. Nice shot though and very fitting for the assignment.

I just cant believe that all those houses are just left there abandoned and that the city does not let anyone access these homes and finish them off. What a waste. Sad storry but it seems there were a lot of those storries in the past two years. Great subject.
