Today's news article doesn't have much to do with real estate investment or tenant-landlord relationships, but it does have to do with something else we are interested in: community pride. The article is about St. Louis area brick being stolen from abandoned houses. The brick is prized for its rich color due to the natural color of the soil in the area. Unfortunately, the thieves are leaving dangerous shells of buildings behind that can collapse at any minute.
Community pride is important. When we are proud of where we live, we take care of it. We care for our neighbors and those around us. We care for the buildings and the streets and the green spaces. We want what's best for the area. These thefts are seriously damaging the communities they occur in. The pieces left behind are unstable and ugly. The city officials are left with the task of safely demolishing the rest of the building, and the list of buildings to demolish just gets longer. Luckily, there is a plan being discussed that will hopefully stop or deter the thieves.
