The story is that there is a farmer not too far away that when he bought a farm that had a house he would bulldoze it down. He apparently did this to houses that were in good condition as well as houses that were put out of their misery. He decided it was not worth the bother to rent or sell to bad neighbors. I don't think this guy was especially wealthy but since homes here are worth the better part of 100,000 dollars nowadays I really wonder how many he has knocked down lately. Another story I heard was a farmer had partially demolished a new acquisition when his son came roaring in to have a fit about it. Apparently, the old man had plum forgot that he agreed to sell it to the boy and the son had already made the arrangement for the financing. Further, this happened several months before the old man was diagnosed with dementia.
