Many people all over the world abandon their houses. In my view, the main reason for this is the unbearable high interest rates on loans for the purchase of housing. The other reason for this is that before the current global crisis many people have invested their savings real estate. But now the purchasing power among the population is very low. It’s about ordinary people, not rich people and millionaires.
Every building that is not inhabited dies. The important thing for a house is to be inhabited. It is not the most important what it looks like, but what is happening in it. When the owners have gone irrevocably to another settlement or died, it is emptied of content. Or she has to accept new inhabitants, either to change the function or to transform. Nature does not have the resources to sit for so long – it catches it and transforms it.
They can be accommodated in a deserted property without families, homeless, beggars. In this way, they will be able to cultivate the land and get basic food products. So the owner of the property will actually own the land, but in the abandoned house it will be able to live and support people. They make a commitment to take care of it and cover the water and electricity bills.
I would be interested to know your opinion on this topic.

Very interesting and thought provoking post. There’s something beautiful in the contrast between the abandoned houses and the trees.
Some places have laws which allow squatters to assume ownership of a property, especially if they have improved the quality of the house and/or land…
Nice post! Nice pictures!
Abandoned buildings always hold a story sometimes good sometimes not so good. Would be great to see them all saved.
It’s sad that there’s so many abandoned buildings. That one in Salt Lake City looks like it was well loved once. So sad.
very beautiful photography…
