thanks...and just an update...I told my husband I went over there today and he told me that he has heard that the same building company that went bankrupt and caused all these people to be without homes....has now opened a brand new building company under a different name.

I went for a lunch time walk in a part of Seattle I've never been and stumbled across this building marquee. It seemed fitting for how we all seem to pray to the economy gods...

The builders went bankrupt and everyone who invested money in these homes lost everything. And to make it even better the township slapped those little pink "no occupancy" signs on the doors...so even if the home owners wanted to move in a finish the houses themselves...they can not. It is a very sad situation.

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.
