Description
This house is down the road from me and less than four months ago was a beautifully maintained home. This guy and his family that moved in seemed pretty cool...he bought a awesome old ambulance and turned it into a work truck with Dr. Scissorhands professionally painted on the sides. :)
I never met them and don't know the details but he went "Man Gone Wild" when it was foreclosed upon. He broke out most of the windows including the front door, ripped down the gutters and heaved buckets of motor oil on the garage and roof. That's just the exterior as I hear the interior suffered worse. Grrrrr. What these people do not understand is that houses hold alot of special memories for all the families who passed through and however pissed off you are at your circumstances........ Geez it's not the house's fault!! End of rant:)

From the moment houses don't are belonging more to people and began to belong to banks, houses are nothing. The only thing for banks is their monetary value and profit. Banks have no problem to destroy a beautiful old house if building in its place a modern trash generates more profit. Today very few people really do own their own house, most of the people believes that own a house, but the house is not theirs, it belong to the banks.

There is another side to the story. Not that it's right to destroy something in anger but these people bought homes on promises that were false; given to think they would finally have a chance to own their own house free from threat of homelessness. They worked hard to pay the mortgage. They worked to make their home beautiful and sunk every spare moment and penny into it...thinking this would be their sanctuary for as long as they chose. Then they found out they had an ARM and the mortgage doubled within a couple of months just as the economy failed them...they lost jobs, paid more for gas, food, electricity, etc. and no matter how hard they struggled, their home slipped away. Frustration and fear turns the most docile person into a raging monster. He probably knew the bank would take his home and sell it for half what it was worth, along with all his hopes and dreams. Great shot. I could show you worse in my neighborhood where we had as many as 7 foreclosed homes within 2 blocks. How very sad.

This is interesting, very sad and very complex Cynthia. An outstanding capture. Wonderfully written. Really farout image. It is very sad. I have four on our street. The one next door, forced into Bankruptcy. He lost his job. She could not make enough to handle everything. I wanted to cry for them... Huggs... Silkylady...

It appears to have been a pretty home at one time....... That house would sell quick here at home I say maybe around $55 thou or so..give or take..and then who ever bought it would fix it up...and rent it out to government people on fixed incomes....I feel sorry for them....Anger does weird things to some people...a house like that one the way it is now was treated in rather the same manner......they literally tore it apart...even pulled the sink out of the wall....... I hope they have found a better solution to their problem...and they aren't ruining the one they are in now.... Great image sweets of a home that was once pretty Sorta reminds me of Loretta Lynn's song...."And we love this haunted house we used to call a home"..... Hugs Susan~
