Make business of house demolition

[Larry Flanagan]

My town has lots of old rotten houses that need to be torn down. The problem is even if you get these houses for free, the lot value is significantly less than the demo cost. The City has a long waiting list of houses to demo; they budget to do a few a year and put liens on them which will never be paid back. I have thought about setting up a non-profit to collect donations to tear down some of these old eyesores. I wonder if there are any other, better solutions?...
