something very immoral about those photos - you have a community there that to 95% of the world is the American dream - and it's a ghost town. surely it would be better to have people living in those homes even if they were only paying the utilities and a nominal rent, until a house is actually sold people shouldn't be forced out, as long as they take care of the property. even if they're jobless and on social assistance, better to have them in that community, so the remaining businesses get some of that money. this solution depicted in Rochard's photos serves NOBODY well. they now have home staging companies for a reason - an empty house is much harder to sell than a lived in home. who would choose to move into a neighborhood like that now, it's too depressing.
