Florida Town Seeks Code Changes To Deal With Foreclosure Eyesores

In Cape Coral, Florida, WINK News reports:
  • Cape Coral is trying to clean up a city wide problem-foreclosed homes that are now unsightly eyesores. They hope a new ordinance will get these homes up to code in half the time. [...] If [new ordinance is] passed, code enforcement could take action after just ten days. The ordinance would also keep officers out of court and on the streets.
