    I was nervous for you the entire time, those neighbors were threating, posturing, pacing around. I have seen that behavior before! Very Dangerous, can snap at any second. God bless the young man who stepped in in the beginning. And God Bless You, Spencer, What a brave and determine man you are, doing such good! The job turned out amazing! You always do such great work.

      It just goes to show how much things vary from place to place. That said, just because it's vacant doesn't mean it isn't owned. A lot of these vacant properties are owned by someone who's had to move into a nursing home on Medicaid. They keep the property because although they *could* sell it, that would convert it into a countable asset, which counts against them when calculating their eligibility for Medicaid. They can't rent it out either, since the rental income would count against them. The best thing for them would probably be to sell the house and move into a retirement community, but that's excruciatingly expensive; for a lot of seniors, it's far more affordable to instead go on Medicaid and go into a nursing home -- which costs a hell of a lot more in reality, but Medicaid will pay for nursing home care once you're indigent. It's not a good system, but it ends up being what a lot of people resort to once they're no longer physically able to manage their own care in their homes.

    Oh, this brought back some memories. I lived for a while in a neighborhood where there a lot of people who were down on their luck. Getting weird, dumb requests from people I didn't know got old. The worst were the ones who acted like I owed them a favor right from the start. But then there were a lot of refreshing and uplifting neighbors like the young guy across the street. Friendly, with a handshake and a smile. Those were folks that made living there worthwhile.

Rides to the store, borrowing money. It was just too much drama for me.
