Yesterday I was driving to Giant when I drove past a cluster of furniture sitting on the curb across from CVS. 

This wasn’t stuff being put out for trash pick-up or a yard sale.  Sadly, it’s someone’s life being severly affected in a negative way.  Someone’s Crofton home or Crofton rental was being evicted.  How distressing it must be to come home and find your furniture out on the curb exposed to weather and frankly, theft.

We don’t really know what the story is and probably never will.  Somebody is trying to find a place for their belongings and a place to begin to put their life back together.

Although a lot of the reporting on the housing crisis is out of proportion to the facts, it is real and it does affect people.

If you, or your family or friends, find yourself in trouble of foreclosure you need to contact your bank immediately.  You can’t ignore the problem, it just won’t go away on it’s own.
