The Urban Farm

The driveway was eroded, the weeds overgrown and the barn long since collapsed yet this farmhouse had only been abandoned for about a year. Across the street were a couple of buses, an RV and even a boat, with another house that looked as though it had been forgotten for decades. The bus was full of jars of preserves along with other farming supplies with the long abandoned house almost completely collapsed.

Back across the street, the main farmhouse had relatively new vinyl siding and a blue tarp on the roof in an attempt to try and keep the water out of a failing roof.

The property was expropriated and the owners were forced to leave after being compensated at fair market value, in order to make way for a new infrastructure project. The surrounding lands are in jeopardy as well, the region has an insatiable hunger to grow, with hundreds of thousands of people moving to the district on an annual basis.

But since the surrounding land is provincially protected there has been great opposition to the future housing project moving forward. Only time will tell how this particular project evolves over the years but there is one thing for certain, we need more housing to meet the demand and the infrastructure to support it.
