Historic Mistake in the Making
I got a chance to watch this You Tube clip from Historic Indianapolis regarding the city’s plans to tear down a couple thousand abandoned homes. Historic Indy opposes the plan, saying some of these homes should be rehabbed and sold to families.
I don’t know what world these people have been living in for the for the past few years, but have they met this economy? And do they remember how we got here? Part of the reason these homes are abandoned is that we allowed people to buy homes who were never ready for home ownership to begin with and the properties ended up in foreclosure.
If Historic Indianapolis wants to save these homes maybe they should purchase them, do the rehab themselves and then sell them to “deserving families”. Good luck with that one. Typical.
