It is a sad story. A very powerful way to tell this story. It would be great if I could visit there sometime! V

Effective photo journalism. That’s a sad situation.

Yes sad to see old houses torn down. My hope is they could recycle some of the materials. V

Hopefully this will make room for something new.

Great documentary shot. A win / lose situation. Lynn has summed it up well. Barring a miracle, the future is as barren as this empty lot. "V"

Always sad to see houses torn down, while so many are homeless. But, it seems that Rochester has a glut of abandoned places that are probably dangerous and a public nuisance. I don't see a happy ending for your City. Without people, there is no tax base, hence no infrastructure support and nothing to offer prospective businesses to relocate. V

perhaps people have moved in order to find work....a good look at the worsening situation here..

I suppose it's better than leaving countless abandoned houses in place, but still sad to see. V.
