Introducing “The Housing Meltdown: Three Days in Cleveland” by Anthony Suau

This is a powerful photo story by Anthony Suau on the Digital Journalist.

He is an excerpt:

Cleveland, Ohio, March 25, 2008 — Detective Robert Kole of the Cuyahoga County Sheriff’s Department cautiously approaches an abandoned house. He must search it, room by room, at gunpoint to ensure that the house is clear of weapons and squatters or inhabitants. It can be a dangerous and, at times, depressing, job. In this home, the decomposing body of a dog, tied to a leash and left to starve to death, was discovered in the kitchen.

Cleveland, Ohio, March 25, 2008 — In this intercity home the family and friends of Marian Taylor help her move out her possessions after she defaulted on her loan. Cleveland has been particularly hard-hit by the current housing meltdown.

Please visit the Digital Journalist at The Housing Meltdown: Three Days in Cleveland to view the whole story.

I wanted to make people aware of this photo story because it shows who the silent ones to suffer are, from who you don’t hear: Children and Pets.
