Mike Kaszuba of the Star Tribune writes without a trace of irony,
"…the many foreclosed homes in these inner-city neighborhoods have complicated the cleanup. Some homes were in such disrepair that their garages had collapsed into the alley…"
Yeah, that's right, my neighbor's garage was in the alley because the home was in such "disrepair."
Had nothing to do with the 3-foot-diameter TREE THAT FELL ON IT.
The photo accompanying the story is of a collapsed garage. Astonishingly, the owner of the garage is not only not in foreclosure, he is actually pictured in the photo. Yet his garage was in such disrepair that it was unable to withstand a "huge maple tree" that "crashed through the roof."
