Trash Magnet

This is off a major thoroughfare across the street from a world war two airplane manufacturer, Beechcraft. The houses were hurriedly built to provide dwelling for aircraft workers. It is in view of traffic and one wonders why it hasn't been removed.

Great title for this. Stark living. . . now or before.

Judging by the condition of the house no one lives there. Probably used as a garbage dump by outsiders.

Part of the problem is that trashy people dump trash. I would expand because littering is a pet peeve. The other is permitting. Starting with an asbestos inspection and then removal! Very expensive and then they move on to lead abatement. And the fees go on from there! (It’s all a scam) If you ever want to open a costly can of worms! Try to tear down a house. One of many ways governments have figured out how to get blood from a turnip.

I often wonder who owns places like this and if there are municipal ordinances against keeping them in that condition.

Such a shame people feel the need do that and no one will clean it up.

Yes, it is an eyesore.

A stark glimpse of reality.

Hopefully no one is living there. V
