But... but... the grass is dead. Sodding is a PITA, and not everyone has the friendship blackmail on IR2 that Ipo has to get him over to help sod.

What amazes me isn't that they have all dropped, its that each of those is in a truly shitty location, and yet sold previously for more than half a million (MILLION!) dollars!

I'm actually amazed that the prices haven't dropped more. A lot of the 50%+ price declines seem to be complete tear-downs in less than desirable neighborhoods.
 
It's not just the bad neighborhoods.
