Those houses were probably trashed before the people moved out.

It wasn’t the Democrats so much as it was people suing banks because the banks wouldn’t loan to them. So frankly it’s not the entire fault of the liberals, just the idiots who gambled on having the money in the future, but lost. Regrettably they’re taking us down with them.

Maybe they maintained the homes that were worth maintaining.

I'm guessing somebody's been getting paid to maintain them.

Maybe they maintained the homes that were worth maintaining. Does a foreclosed home have civil rights? Funny how they call it racist to not throw good money after bad by putting it into areas with a history of being "depreciated" by those who prowl the areas.

See my earlier post for a brief synopsis of why it *IS* the Democrat's fault. I could go into much greater detail, but the housing crises/fannie mae crises is indeed entirely on the heads of Democrats, though the media will never tell you so.
