Housing Shortage

 Our area has a housing shortage.  That’s why I can’t understand why there are vacant houses on our road.

On my walk today besides capturing this view of a gigantic field which in the past has been planted in corn but this year has something else growing …





… I captured the rhododendrons at this vacant house. 





I have heard it is owned by folks out of state. Possibly an inheritance. I’ve seen them there once. Otherwise it stands empty and decaying slowly. What a waste. 

But the rhododendrons are gorgeous!


Then there’s this house just 4 houses down from us. It’s been vacant since before we moved here. The rich folks who bought the farm bought it. Not clear what they intend. I believe that zoning requires that if you tear down a house it has to rebuilt on footprint within a year. I think there’s asbestos so that requires removal.
