When we first moved back to my hometown in 1992, we bought a house. Paid it off in 7 years. The neighborhood was all owner occupied then. Forward to 26 years later, most are rentals and there are a couple drug houses within a block. We sold out and got almost nothing. My MIL passed and left my wife a little money so we moved to the other side of town. A couple weeks ago, the old house was demolished. Sad to see it go. I had roofed it, rewired it, plumbed it all and built a garage. It is the 3rd house on that block that is now gone. I spent a 1/3 of my life in that house.

As @bkt said I am saddened.

My place has had 6 generations slept under this roof. Hate to give it up.
