Got $1.5 million to spare? If so, tiny Reduction, a one-time company town built to house workers at a long-vanished garbage-processing plant in western Pennsylvania, could be yours for the asking.
The aptly named town is home to 60 residents, down from 400 in its heyday. They live in 19 tidy brick houses, paying rent to the Stawovy family, proprietors of the unincorporated village for the past 70 years.
So the people come with the town? Can we sell them separately?
What about a jail and courthouse? I always wanted a town where I could own the police dept and fine every driver who stumbled through. I'd be so rich!
Kind of like the next town over from us.
That's funny!
And I wonder what the closing would look like?? Would it be too pretentious to rename the town after myself? Have a throne outside of city hall (aka, my house)?

The asking price includes a one-room schoolhouse that was long ago converted into a duplex residence.
Does that mean if one pays 1.5M they get to own the 19 brick houses. Who exactly are the tenants paying the rent to? and If so, why does the asking price include only a duplex residence.

Questions, Questions....
It includes the 19 houses plus the duplex. Tenants pay rent to the current owners and will pay the future owner.
It's kinda tempting. Looking on a map, the place doesn't look bad. That $1.5M is probably negotiable.
