TRENDING ABANDONED HOUSES ABLAZE CONFRONT NORTHEAST KANSAS CITY!!!
Amid a dearth of "affordable" options . . . Here's a peek an ongoing problem: Hobos trying to keep warm and/or entertain themselves have torched a great many local structures as so many places that just needed a bit of work have now gone up in smoke . . . Check-it:

The causes behind many of these fires remain unclear, but the risk is real for those living in these communities. Neighborhood leaders are pushing for action.
