609, 611 Forest Ave and 1209 Independence Ave are for sale. Two tri-plexes and a commercial building. They are right at the bus stop. Listing notes "for land value only" and $900k (!) Seems super high and buildings are in rough shape. Black smoke may indicate recent fire damage to the left building. Unfortunately, in a rough part of town located right along a highway and a junk car lot behind you. Homes just to the south look nice and the IBEW is across the street.
"Where did all the affordable housing go...." It's rotting away right in front of us without incentives and support to rehab it.
