Houses From Hell - Part 1 of 4

Many of the houses may look familiar... they are scattered throughout Topeka neighborhoods. Some have been abandoned for a year or two, and others for decades. They attract crime and vandalism and become eyesores. Abandoned houses are a problem in many Topeka neighbors.

Some of those houses were mansions. They were mansions until the diversity destroyed the neighborhoods. Now they are in shambles.

Why the hell does anyone care? Its an eye sore yes, but really does an ugly house need to take your precious time up? There is more important things than just pointing out minor flaws. It's a decaying house big deal why is it so important to waste time on it?

@briquetaverne That makes sense. Since it is standing in pieces like that!

The house that's seen at 1:04 looks like one of those prefab houses that Sear-Roebuck sold in the teens and 1920's by catalogue.

A home left unloved, that will never again shelter a happy family, that once must have been someone's piece of the American Dream, is indeed, a sad thing.

I guess I can understand it. Old industrial cities, with industry gone. No one needs them any more.

But, like seeing an old ship going to the scrap yard, it's still a sad sight.

you're all a bunch of lazy bureaucrats. Have a big bonfire party for the whole neighborhood!!

[moonwitch1981]

it's so sad that these houses are left unloved and with no families in, when there is so many people with out homes, So very sad !!!
