Where Have all the Houses Gone?

I took a day off work one day and went for a bike ride with my camera gear on my back and a tripod strapped to a carrier. I chose to tour around an industrial area of East Vancouver. The area seems to have once been mostly residential but over several decades has slowly seen its houses replaced by cement square boxes.

The day I took this shot, this house was still inhabited. But, it is now sitting empty and surrounded by construction fencing. I think it will be gone soon unless this recession stops development. I guess every neighbourhood is in some sort of transition phase whether it’s moving from houses to warehouses, warehouses to condos, or condos to………?
