Re: Code enforcement demolishes House next door

said by garys_2k:

Oh, and all of the no-bid houses weren't derelicts, either. Just no market for them given the neighborhoods and economics. If it takes $50,000 to fix a place up to code and you couldn't get $40,000 for it, what to do is pretty clear.

Renting out can be an option in some places.

Definitely true, I guess in these cases not enough professional landlords/developers thought they were even worth that. Imagine, a (practically) free house, no back tax bills, and nobody was interested. Pretty sad.
