This was 2014 Venetian Dr. last year and today, it was finally torn down after being vacant for 11 years. As some of you may know it is hard living next to a vacant property. My neighbor Mr. Varner went into a retirement home in 2003 and left the home to his grandson, whom never took possession of the property and allowed it to go into disrepair. We have many homes and situations like this in Adams Park and all over the city. These properties test us as neighbors in so many ways, squatters,crime, drug use havens, dangerous and just all around bad on the eyes and lowers property values.
As neighbors, lets consider coming up with ways to contact owners of vacant homes and see how we can keep these properties thriving and filled with tenants and even better homeowners. This sounds like a tall task but I believe with a good plan we can reduce this problem throughout Adams Park and quite possibly SW Atlanta. Please send me your thoughts ideas and any suggestions and I promise we can make this happen. Help me with the Baby Steps. I look forward to hearing from you.
Thanks All,
