The Roots of Resistance: About The Project
Highgrove Holdings Management LLC, based in
Torrance, California, is one of many out-of-state firms that have
purchased hundreds of homes throughout the city.
These homes allow investors to make a significant profit quickly, as affordable housing is often difficult to find in Milwaukee.
Once that profit has been extracted from such properties, the homes soon fall into a state of disrepair, as investment firms have little incentive to make necessary improvements.
Over time, the homes become unfit for human habitation.
For Example:
The home pictured here by David Schalliol, at 2118 N. 18th Street in Milwaukee's Lindsay Heights neighborhood, is owned by Highgrove Holdings LLC. In our gallery, there are a total of 15 similar homes in the Lindsay Heights neighborhood, all owned by Highgrove.
