maryann's old house - before the town aquired it put a new metal roof on it, selling it to Ibrahim who rented it to some couple from florida now it is abandoned for taxes again

i thought you just mentioned there was not enough affordable housing in berkshire county

our town manager now librarian solved the housing problem with judy, randy, kody and my apartments here in van buren which the town owns because the bechards who owned it and the restaurant beneath it then abandoned it and let it go for taxes when they moved to the old frog hollow restaurant, which had been abandoned and let go for taxes 

then the bechards left there after taking the kitchen equipment the town manager got them by writing a development grant -  to move to caribou where they went out of business after kiting payroll checks leaving frog hollow abandoned for taxes again 

there are many more abandoned properties in portland where they just extended the deadline for removing the huge homeless encampment that sprung up there after the eviction moratorium ended

now there are 4 of us with 2 people paying full rent 2 paying section 8 subsidized rent and the town is making a profit off of a building that would have been torn down otherwise - there are at least a dozen abandoned houses in town the town owns and could fix up to rent - they fixed one of #alphena12's sister maryann's houses up and sold it after maryann let it go for taxes - but ibrahim left and now it is abandoned for taxes again

fields realty became the town realtor and is selling the tax aquired properties in town but one can't get a list to see what the properties are or how much taxes are owed to try to buy them oneself for the price of the outstanding taxes, which sometimes is very little money

if there were a large excess of apartments to rent it would be difficult for private landlords to raise average rents 12+% like they did last year and 8% like every year before

the landlords are usually the largest group of property owners in any municipality and usually control the town and city councils

bernadette's house

she lived in section 8 housing until her good son david passed away...he had a good job with fairchild semiconductor and left her just enough money to get a small house of her own:

she lives next door to brian bouchard who is a reporter for wgma tv

bernadette had a crush on ted shapiro, the wgma weatherman mentioned it to david on fb and one day david took bernadette to walmart and 'accidently' bumped into mr shapiro in the parking lot, but she panicked and ran away

both bernadette's and maryann's husbands plowed the snow off the loring runway and possibly since they were both ex military off of the q clearance nuclear storage and testing depot

bernadette had worked at the base in the maternity ward of the base hospital and bernadette and maryann both survived two cancers

heidi's house before it caught fire after her water had been shut off when the town aquired it for back taxes:
