Open Houses, only in the 'hood...

Many realtors use an "open house" to market residential realestate. Here on the City's East Side seems like the City of Buffalo is doing the same. This past week I toured some of my favorite City owned houses here in Masten all within a block or two of City schools. Here's what I found...

125 Woodlawn, see map...
125 Woodlawn Ave. - Buffalo, NY 125 Woodlawn Ave. - Buffalo, NY
377 Woodlawn, see map...
22 Waverly, see map...
1466 Michigan, see map...
1466 Michigan Ave. 1466 Michigan Ave.
Here's the silver lining...This house at 1466 Michigan is in excellent structural condition. New mechanics, windows and straightening out the porch would make this an excellent two family home or rental property. The lots on both sides are owned by the City and could probably be bundled for a larger lot with garage possibilites. 30 million will be spent half a block away on the new Performing Arts High School....new row houses are going in, too...

And of course the Woodlawn Row Houses are still wide open, diagonally across the street from the future home of Performing Arts High School.

And so it goes...any suggestions?

There is a quality even meaner than outright ugliness or disorder, and this meaner quality is the dishonest mask
of pretended order, achieved by ignoring or suppressing the real order that is struggling to exist and to be served.
