Homestead Pretty^TM

This week the Telegraph has reported my dreams are coming true.

Okay, so perhaps this statement is a tad bit dramatic… nonetheless, the Obama administration is proposing the government downsize urban areas that are declining due to lack of economic resources. This is a win for overextended city officials/employees and for bringing green spaces to impermeable concrete surfaces. The article says,

“Already, some streets peter out into woods or meadows, no trace remaining of the homes that once stood there.”

While being sensitive to those who still live in these areas, I have always been intrigued by the process of nature reclaiming what was at one point civilization. I hope these planned deconstruction projects are well thought out and benefit the communities that still live in these declining cities.
