The Rent Is Too Damn High Party's Jimmy McMillan at the NY Governor Debate

This guy is running for governor of New York. Some have said he's a former Vet and just a little bit off. I'd say his message is right on.

Empty Houses on Both Sides

This is my family's life. Half the stuff we have to do isn't even on the calendar. We're constantly on the grind. No time for air.


This is a house in my neighborhood that's been vacant for almost 2 years.


I love how someone put
balloons on the signpost.
Let's make it pretty.




Both of my neighbors are now gone. There are empty houses on both sides.

The owner of this house left last week. He's still cutting the grass.

This neighbor has been gone for a while.

You can see straight through the house.

A quote:

"The economists I’ve talked to-- like Biden’s top economic advisor, Jared Bernstein—insist that recessions are particularly unkind to the poor and the middle class." -- Barbara Ehrenreich from her blog in January 2009.

A housing crisis isn't too kind to the middle class either, but I'm too busy hustling to really care. (see first photo above).
