The House by the Shed

I noticed that next to the property we were working on on tuesday, there was a boarded up house..how is its value affected by what we were doing? Could a beautiful yard and shed make all the difference in the world by attracting people to buy that house? Other houses in the neighborhood? Housing reform could take a long, long time because it is going to have to start one house, or one shed, at a time.

  1. I noticed that as well. It is great that we are building a community garden but if all the homes around it are abandoned, then is it really worth it? If we start to demolish some of the homes, it will pick up the neighborhood and start to turn the neighborhood around.

  2. I noticed this also. I think they said they were planning on tearing that house down and eventually incorporating the area into the garden.
