    The headline is misleading. A vacant secondary property that is maintained but boarded up is not the same as a family’s primary residence, which “family home” implies. No one has become unhoused due to the demolition.

    Doesn’t change anything about how messed up it is to demolish the wrong property, though.

    Is it really a “family home” if it was boarded up for 15 years? Home implies that the family lives there

    A homeowner is mulling the next step after a company mistakenly demolished a home she owned in south-west Atlanta.

    Susan Hodgson said in an interview Saturday with the Associated Press that she found a pile of rubble in place of what used to be her longtime family property when she returned from vacation last month.

    When a person in charge at the site checked his permit, Hodgson said he admitted he was at the wrong address.

    Hodgson said she’s filed a report with police and has talked with lawyers but that they remain in limbo so far.

    To this day, she said the Atlanta-based company responsible, You Call It We Haul It, has yet to contact her.

    In a statement to WAGA-TV, the company said it is investigating and working to resolve the mishap.
