I just don't understand why people allow this to happen

I will never understand why people allow good homes to go down the tubes.. But this one take the cake.

The house in these photos were taking on a Cattle farm, they let the house go down, but they make sure the Barn is in great shape..Why???????????

If you had the money for the upkeep of the barn and the grounds why not the house.
As you can see the barn is in great condition

There are many of these types of homes all around NC, left to slowly rot and return to the earth...
