More Abandoned Neighborhoods Pose Risks to Public
More and more neighborhoods are becoming extinct,victims of the current housing market crash. People who face eviction simply opt to abandon their homes way before the sheriff gets there to kick them out leaving unpaid bills and unhealthy homes that are often ransacked by vandals and stripped of their contents. Everything goes, the fixtures, wires, and even the pipes used in the plumbing, they are all stolen, stripped ungraciously form their place to be sold as scrap in what is fast becoming the worst economic conditions since the great depression.
City planners are now considering closing off parts of the city that have been left in ruins by the current crisis as they try to protect innocent bystanders who can fall victim to hidden dangers. Children playing can get into contact with drugs paraphernalia used by addicts as they skip from house to house to avoid detection by police. Toxic substances and other chemical left by former owners lie in unattended properties ready to cause havoc at the slightest disturbance. People in the same neighborhoods who have managed to stay in their homes are facing untold dangers as they try to live normal lives amidst so much despair and hopelessness.
