abandoned malls, city planners, left with ghosts of once flourishing shopping centers, are using the existing infrastructure to <a href=\"http:\/\/realestate.msn.com\/slideshow.aspx?cp-documentid=27670258\">build new communities<\/a>, according to SwitchYard Media.\u00a0 Across the country, new apartments, civic centers and parks are showing up where Macy\u2019s department stores used to be.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/02\/16\/business\/16housing.html?src=me\">A New York court<\/a> this week announced a pledge for all <a href=\"http:\/\/newyork.cbslocal.com\/2011\/02\/16\/free-legal-representation-for-ny-foreclosure-victims\/\">homeowners facing foreclosure<\/a> to

struggling homeowners would not only make the process <a href=\"http:\/\/consumerist.com\/2011\/02\/new-york-state-guarantees-legal-assistance-in-foreclosure-cases.html\">more efficient<\/a>, but

href=\"http:\/\/therealdeal.com\/miami\/articles\/u-s-homebuyers-face-rising-minimum-down-payment-requirements-from-lenders\">Down payments<\/a>, which rose 22 percent in nine major U.S. cities last year, may be getting even higher.\u00a0 The Obama administration last week called for a 10 percent minimum down payment on conventional loans, which would be raised gradually, and private lenders are already insisting on minimum requirements higher than that, <a href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB10001424052748703312904576146532935600542.html?mod=WSJ_hp_MIDDLENexttoWhatsNewsTop\">according

new homes<\/a>, which are usually more expensive than older homes, will save owners money on energy costs in the long run. \u00a0<a
