Over a year ago, someone bought up three or four single-family homes near our apartment.They got a zoning change through to allow them to build townhomes on the land.They got a demolition permit.

And now the place where several nice houses used to stand is ugly and empty

(except for some very nice flowers that survived the holocaust)

with a "For Sale" sign and apparently no buyers...I got to thinking about this sort of thing when i saw this "*
