But from my experience with these so called abandoned houses they are not what they seem. Most are in the foreclosure process and so the owner has moved because the bank is taking their house back. Now what you have left is an empty house sitting in the owner's name but the bank is holding it and waiting to sell it for the price they want. Thus the city calls them abandoned. No action is being taken on the banks for not taking care of their property. You can't tell someone your going to take back an item and expect that person to maintain the item for you. Get real I would not upkeep a property that I have no rights to. So tell the banks to get these homes in their names and finish the foreclosure process. To allow a bank to tie a home up for 1 month to 10 years is ridiculous. It would be nice if all departments would work together to crack down on abandoned houses.

I mean while thats important to secure her safety I think some of those guys also doubled as staff for her. If not I can not imagine that she was on her own to schedule appts and the like. That unpaid job is too important for her to be ont he phone at home setting up her own schedule. Someone in past Mayor's offices did that for the Mayor's wife I am sure.
