Razing Neighborhoods!

An idea whose time has come!

I will go one step farther, if the Federal government made it a policy to raze any foreclosed property it owns (Thanks, Freddy and Fannie!), with the intent of creating a little green space, a mini-National Park where an abandoned house once stood, then the remaining houses would increase in value not only because razing shrinks inventory, but also because all the adjacent national parks could never be built on! Also, imagine all the teenagers you could hire to plant thinks and spread mulch. All those toxic liabilities then become of communal green assets.

To further appeal to Obama, put his name on a brown national park sign in front of each new mini-park. "This Obama Land is Your Land!"
