More Than 300,000 US Homes Are Foreclosed 'Zombies' http://www.businessinsider.com/more-than-300000-us-homes-are-foreclosed-zombies-2013-3

Blessing or curse, neighborhoods that are riddled with challenges of vacant homes create blessing to the opportunists and a curse to the neighbors if the squatters settle in. How do we recover and prosper. Big banks need to swiftly drop prices and think of communities not bottom lines. Investers will flip and spin homes out to the new young home owners that will create a sense of community. Every challenge creates opportunity. One must be willing to move into problem solving, not whinning about what's wrong.
