I've chatted a few times with someone who did it in the late 1970's in Barre Circle. Lot's of stops and starts, problems with contractors, etc. Interesting stories about her and her neighbor's rehabs. In the end it was worth it. She still lives there.

I have a strange feeling you might be talking about my new neighbor. My partner and I definitely did not get our new house for $1!

Could be. She's a wealth of info about the program; has been interviewed in the past for news articles, etc. And yeah, me neither; I wish. Edit: I overlooked the link someone posted to a podcast on Spotify. I was referring to Judy.

She used to be my next door neighbor in BC! She’s amazing. Her house is beautiful.

It is! Unexpectedly cool since the outside looks like a typical row house. There are quite a few like that in BC. Some people really did neat things with their dollar house rehabs.
