Aren't social programs nice?

There are so many requirements that have to be met for a house to be dealt with in such a fashion. Since it's such a highly priced area the likelihood of it being in a zone where it is eligible to meet the criteria for federal or state housing funding and rehabilitation is near impossible.

This sounds like your story of the black drug running cars with their lights off doing 130mph across the border.

Presumably they bought it long, long, long before the prices spiked up this high, it's been vacant for nearly 10 years, but the lawn's always been mowed and stuff. About 3 months ago, some crews came in, gutted the place and made some pretty extensive modifications.

Who is "they"? You are assuming that this house was bought on some govt. funded housing program? Or are you assuming that the owners were on social programs and managed to fund this house?

Even with the appreciation rates of the current market, the value of that house would be in the hundreds of thousands. No one on a social assistance program is going to be able to mortgage a property like that. The govt programs don't buy these houses a long, long time ago and then let them sit. There are very specific criteria that has to be met in order for a federal or state housing authority to come in and do a rehab project. On top of the fact that there is a cap on the value in which these programs will operate. It's nowhere NEAR the value you are talking about.

I think it just comes down to the fact that a new "family" trashier than yours moved into the neigborhood and you don't like them so you assume they are "welfare people".

Not getting specific on that, too many tards that would take pleasure in making my life miserable until I'm out of High School. Somewhere in Baltimore County. A little knowledge of the area and referencing my other posts should easily reveal exactly where, I've dropped enough hints.

This has gotta be a parody thread ...where's the original?

If it's not a parody thread, why not go down to the county courthouse and look up who really owns the property, when it was purchased, etc. While you're at it, find out what the area is zoned for WRT multi-family dwelling, etc.

*shrug* I never claimed to know how the industry and government work together. And it is fairly possible that the house was indeed bought on independent funds - there's a good bit of money to be made in drugs. Or perhaps I'm overvaluing that piece of property (all I know is what the place next door to it, in similar condition sold for 6 months ago) One of the neighbors is a realtor and is going to look into who exactly owns it.

A good bit of the neighborhood, if not the whole thing is zoned for multi-family dwellings. It just so happens that, since 1993, none of the houses have been used for that, since they were all owned by private parties who don't like sharing their space.

Dat bout splains it.

This is in the middle of a multi-million dollar neighborhood. This particular house was a mere $.5mil, because it's rather small and run down.
. . .
Needless to say, since we're fvcking rednecks and . . .
The other neighbors, whom we have previously been fueding with . . .
It takes 45 minutes for a police response out here.

I believe the latter three statements.
The first, however, I call shens.

Give me a little bit, I'll find the listing for the new places they're building. $1.75mil each. The developer is building their own $3mil office/house/demo/thing a coupla miles down the road.

Hrm, well I grew up in B'more County ... I'm guessing you're in the northern part (Hereford) since your description of the area doesn't sound very much like my neck of the woods (Central part of the county). Although with the white trash, crackhead factor you may be in Essex/Dundalk.

Maybe its a federal witness protection program?

Thin the herd for the rest of us dude.

Indeed. And I have no doubt you can own us at football.

EDIT: Actually, it's been six years so I have no idea how good/bad our football team is anymore.

It takes 45 minutes for a police response out here. We know, because this is how long it took them to respond to each of the 5 B&E attempts last night. I'm willing to bet that if I shot one of them, it'd be down to FIVE.

but 45 minutes later, the crack in this supposed crack den should still be there.
