Totally agree. I know there are a huge number of growing neighborhoods. There are just... less neighborhoods now, and a lot of communities are gone.

I think a moratorium on foreclosures was probably the correct answer to what happened, especially in conjunction with mortgage relief. If it failed after maybe 5 or ten years, then start again. People will have recovered enough that the slow trickle of people leaving would have been fixed by newcomers that could do something.
