And the question you need to ask yourself is, why are they willing to sell
their houses so cheaply? Because nobody wants to live there.

During my sentence in Ohio (did you know -- every year spent in Ohio knocks
of two years from purgatory), I saw nice-looking homes with land being
offered for US$60K or so. The problem was the same -- you would have to live
in Ohio!
