True enough. The difficulty is getting the owners to part with the properties even when no longer lived in. I've heard that is a bit of an issue in Glen Echo Heights.

It is semi prolific with NIMBYs. My fav two are of the old grocery store at the bottom of Walhonding and MacArthur can no longer be a store or turned into something else. They like they look but don't want the traffic. There was also a dilapidated two bedroom one bath log cabin home that an investor bought it they slapped a historic tag on it. It was basically a shed.

I believe people live in the "store" at the bottom of MacArthur. They just kept the signage as a nod to history. NIMBYs.

Neighborhood gossip is it is the original owner's son or something.

Watch the price drop another 100k.

The owners are part of Rembrandt Builders, perhaps the ugliest designs in the Glen Echo Heights/Mohican Hills area. They weren't allowed to significantly alter the old store building or take down the sign.

I rather like their work.

Mnice house horrible location. They lowered the price multiple times to sell that house. I think it was on the market for over 1yr

It did take awhile to sell last time on the market. It is abutted by houses on all sides, including an abandoned mess immediately next door. It would be a great house at the right price but you would need to invest in some seriously creative landscaping.
