That crumbling victorian makes me sad. If it were in Brooklyn, it would have been rehabbed long ago, and worth over $1MM in even some not so nice neighborhoods.

“That crumbling victorian makes me sad.”

Me, too. When I was a Realtor a few years ago, I showed some old Victorians in now-rundown neighborhoods and couldn’t help but think how grand they were some 70 years ago. Too bad.

I’ve often wondered how great it would be if, en masse, some 100,000 moneyed homebuyers went in, purchased, rehabbed and gentrified those once-great properties and their neighborhoods.
