Hey, HGTV! (And other broadcasters with similar
outdated programming!)
Times are tough, and people don't care about the 'woes'
of folks who 'only' have $ 6000,000 to spend on
their home.
(Here's a hint: Millionaires don't really need help
finding a place to spend money.)
As housing becomes more unaffordable and just
plain unavailable, and as people struggle with
finances and making ends meet....how about a
change of pace?
As our nation's homeless population continues
to grow precipitously, how about making a
positive impact on the country?
Maybe add a couple of shows where people living
in poverty or on the street are given a shot
at a new life? You could buy up cheap
auction houses (tax auctions, foreclosures, etc)
and have a volunteer crew come in to fix them up.
Get some appliance companies to donate items.
Building supply stores donate paint, drywall, etc.
Or maybe a different philanthropist donates a
small house for each episode's revamp.
Everybody loves a heart-warming story of the
downtrodden making it, everybody likes to be
part of making a positive change, and there is soooo
much need right now.
You could even start a Crowdsourcing account
to allow the public to contribute to fund-raising efforts
for each of the renovations.
Instead of reveling in excesses, we'd love
to see just how cheaply and easily you can
turn some hurting people's lives around!
