This Would Have Been A Great HGTV Show

If you'd gotten on the list of people willing to take on the burden, you would have a shot at a free home in Sicily. Sound like a good deal? Well, some details: First, it's an inland village -- not near the ocean, up a scary narrow winding road -- the population of which has been declining for centuries. Second, the homes were largely abandoned a long, long time ago. Third, they're decrepit in the extreme. And fourth, you get the houses free, but you have to fix them up at your own expense. They did find plenty of people willing to do so. Would you do that for a "free" home? (New York Times)
