I didn’t mean to suggest that they were, I just didn’t know and no particular source was cited. The only apparent source being an entity self characterized as “propaganda”, however tongue in cheek that may be, I thought it best to make a contingent qualification.
I strive to be fair and accurate, unlike some notable other news outlets.
Thank you very much for stopping by. I love your graphics.

Thank you for posting them.
I don’t cite sources because what I do is I compare different sources online and sometimes do average numbers based on many sources.

Thank you again for posting it and if you ever need any more info please don’t hesitate to contact me through my website !

Part of the problem is surely that there aren’t always jobs / ways to make money where there are houses. Henry County, Indiana has hundreds of foreclosed homes, but if you squatted there, you wouldn’t be able to pay for food (w/o some kind of government benefit).
