Sad to See Them Go
All this news about the housing market troubles and foreclosures is starting to hit home for us. My neighbors two doors down are having to move out this weekend. I was shocked to see the “For Sale” sign go up in front of their house last week. I don’t know them all that well, but they have been pleasant neighbors – never any trouble. Evidently the wife got hurt on the job over the summer and has been out of work, so the mortgage company is calling the note and kicking them out. You would think the mortgage company would make some effort to help them stay in the house – maybe just stick 6 months of payments on the end of the original term to give them a chance to get back on their feet. But no. This is the kind of corporate greed and short sightedness that makes my blood boil.
I noticed a U-Haul truck in their driveway tonight when I got home. That’s a quick move – the sign just went up last week and they are already loading the moving truck. I hope we get a chance to say good bye tomorrow before they leave.
