In our area, an intended high-end subdivision was recently abandoned. For months they displayed a “hurry up and buy - 5 homes already sold” sign. Apparently there weren’t enough people hurrying in with their deposits, since the site was planted with corn this summer, and the sign disappeared. I suppose they leased it to a farmer until it can be developed profitably. I’m just glad the decision was made before construction began. No eyesore and our local geese are contentedly scavenging corn.
Yeah, I’m planting trees and shrubs, etc on the lot behind us....plus in OUR subdivision there are about 1/3 empty lots....one beside us is empty...plenty of space for planting....except the stupid deer eat just about everything!
