My husband and I were driving through a Cleveland neighborhood last week and noticed empty lots where houses stood a year ago. My response was “I would have a big garden on one of those lots!”
Although I hate how it happened (too much government in the housing market) it makes the neighborhood look a lot better. Fewer flop houses for crack heads. There are some very well kept homes among the blighted.
Terrible why it’s happening but if I lived next to a house going under the bulldozer I would hope the bank would offer me or the other neighbor the land at a great price...houses with big lots aren’t bad :>)
