Too Many Houses in This Town
Pequotuning is one town in Michigan's Upper Peninsula with an oversupply of housing. Only 10 of its 70 neat frame houses are occupied as Ford Motor Company ownership lingers after timber supplies waned. The town, once a hustling lumber settlement built for auto needs, now sits as a skeleton community of about 40 people, with Ford seeking buyers willing to take over the entire settlement.
