Vacant Homes Still Plaguing Prince George's Neighborhoods

There are almost 2,000 vacant foreclosures in Prince George's County.

Hundreds of vacant foreclosed homes are still plaguing Prince George's County neighborhoods, the Washington Post reports. Even with the housing market recovering in the county, there are still around 51,000 foreclosures in the county and around 1,900 of them are vacant, the paper writes. According to the Post, officials are trying to deal with the problem by distributing funds to buy vacant foreclosures and by requiring banks to register foreclosed homes.

I agree with ken, i just think that these ran down houses should be knocked down and rebuilt. Some of them anyway because of the cost to fix them will probably cost the price of a fully demo and remodeled house./new house. I believe them boiler/hydronic/radiator systems in houses should be done away with also.   more ›
