I recieved an email with this Satellite Tour of the Phoenix Foreclosure Wasteland from my Father yesterday that had 20 of these Foreclosure Maps from the twenty worst hit markets. The title of that email is "A Satellite Tour of America's Foreclosure Wastelands," and there are twenty images just like this one.
These maps are very eye opening as to the current aomunt of homes in foreclsoure. Of the twenty cities on the list Phoenix is # 4 and 9 maps are from Florida, 7 are in California, and Las Vegas is number 1.
If you would like to see all twenty, please leave me a note and I will email them to you if I can find your email address.
Note: The red dots shows homes currently in foreclosure.. The slide title describes the fraction of homes that received foreclosure filings in 2010.
4) Phoenix -- 1 in 14 homes in foreclosure
Did you know you could get Almost Free, $5 Composting Bins from the City of Phoenix, AZ if you are a resident.
I suggest to all of my clients who purchase homes in Phoenix, AZ to consider getting their Almost Free, $5 Composting Bins from the City of Phoenix, AZ.
It is very easy for residents of Phoenix, AZ. You can just contact the city for a $5 recycled compost container at (602)262-7251 or (602)262-6598.
The City of Phoenix uses old garbage containers that are drilled out instead of ones like the photo below. The work very much the same and have the added benefit of recycling city trash containers.
This photo I found looks like somone took their recycled garbage can, now a composting bin very similar to the $5 composting bin from the City of Phoenix, and made it a creative piece of garden art perhaps.
I have been a AZ resident since 1986, I have lived in Scottsdale, Mesa, Chand and now have lived in Gilbert, AZ for over 11 years now and have been composting for the last 5 or 6 years; ever since I found out many cities will provide you one of the models above for either free or a very minimal amount if you are a resident. This both reduces the amount of trash we generate for the city to pick up and charge residents for and is a great source of nutrients for the small vebetable gardens we plant around our house.
How Do I get Almost Free, $5 Composting Bins from the City of Phoenix, AZ? Below you can see some Potatoes, Carrots, Radishes, Various leave lettuce and behind the hose are some strawberries. Yes strawberries, even here in the desert.
