Edit: Seriously though, after reading the article this doesn't bust any myth at all. The only "source" cited is the census map and they don't even take their time to transform that data into something that's proving their point. That's just a piece of opinion, it isn't proving anything.

...Many of them ought to be considered vacant homes. So how close does that get us to 235,000?
