Sad, I'd like to rescue all those houses. More sad for the people, but I don't see them here. But what I do like is the vegetation run rampant. Sometimes a jungle is nice for a change. Not that the City or neighbors would like it. . . .
I know in a previous post you mentioned that once a house is vacant it doesn't take long before the vegetation takes over. I guess this would be a good example. Wow!
And the cost of living there is considerably less than up here in New England. This is heartbreaking. That home once held a family. Now where is that family as the abandoned home falls into disrepair. This just doesn't make sense.
It is so sad to see this! My son and his fiance have been trying to buy a house that is a short sale since last August. They have been approved by their bank for months, but the bank with the mortgage on the house they want to buy is stringing them along and I don't understand why. The current owners haven't made a payment in over a year. It's so frustrating!
So sad to see people lose their homes like this. It is everywhere and these houses sit empty and unloved while people live on the streets, feeling empty and unloved. Strange times.
@ Leia - Foreclosure means the residents failed to make their mortgage payment which resulted in them being evicted from their home and the home was then taken over by the bank to be sold to the highest bidder.
Perhaps had the banks been as prudent 8 yrs ago about giving out mortgages as they are today, FL and the rest of the country would be in better financial shape.
It's always sad when someone loses their house. I understand banks want their money, but tis a pity they couldn't be a bit more human. Apoligies for the double posting - I nodded off at my desk and knocked the computer. Couldn't remember all or what I'd written. Cheers. Melbourne Daily Photo

ReplyDeleteThe people may be gone but I bet there are lots of creatures living there. It's like a jungle.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to tell what the house is like with all the bushes!!

ReplyDeleteMagnifique cette photo, on se croirait dans un village dans la jungle
ReplyDeleteOh how sad. What is going to happen to it? What happened to it's owners? I know people say it is a sign of our times---but I don't like it. MB
ReplyDeleteWe can barely see the house with all that wild vegetation, but it's a pity anyway.
ReplyDeletewilderness!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know this name foreclosures, thanks for teaching me new words :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's all about the weather.I think it can be also dangerous.

Yes, too bad...bet this house could tell you lots of memories.
ReplyDeleteAnd the cost of living there is considerably less than up here in New England. This is heartbreaking. That home once held a family. Now where is that family as the abandoned home falls into disrepair. This just doesn't make sense.
ReplyDeleteForeclosed and foregrown! Uff da, oj vej!
ReplyDeleteSad times. :(

ReplyDeleteI arrive in Lakeland on the 22nd. I'm in Tampa the 24th. Then back to Vermont on the 27th. I don't think I'm going to be anywhere near you, alas.
ReplyDeleteAnd the plants have almost taken over!
ReplyDeleteThis is a tragedy for all concerned;repeated all too frequently in our state.
ReplyDeleteI thought DETROIT led the nation in foreclosures!! We sure have a lot--every block is full of them.
ReplyDeleteBut I haven't checked the statistics and anyway, it's sad wherever it happens.
Super capture, though!

ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear that Florida has been hit so hard!
ReplyDeleteSupposedly, Canada is now out of the recession. I'm not so sure all the unemployed would agree, though.
Perhaps had the banks been as prudent 8 yrs ago about giving out mortgages as they are today, FL and the rest of the country would be in better financial shape.
ReplyDeleteI so hate to see these...can't help but wonder what happened to the family and what will happen to the house.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sad situation and one that is hitting Florida especially hard. Terrible on families and neighborhoods.
ReplyDeleteI'm just glad it's not YOUR home and you and Lois Anne are comfortably ensconced in your new palace. (And blogging.)
It's sad when someone loses their home and the banks foreclose.
ReplyDeleteCheers.

Though it's really sad, it makes for a beautiful photograph. Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteI'm with Léia: a new word for me too.
ReplyDeleteNature is taking advantage of this sad reality...
It's a horse race between CA and FL on the number of foreclosures, a race where there's no real 'winner.' Sad sad sad...
