Extreme Homemakeover destroying people's lives?

I was listening to the radio on my way to MOPS yesterday and heard the saddest story. They were talking about how several of the families that were built new houses from ABC's reality show, Extreme Makeover had lost or were about to loose their houses. The taxes and utility bills on the houses they build are so high that most of the people who get new houses can't afford them. So, now many of these contestants are worse off financially than they were before. They also mentioned that because of their fancy homes many of the contestant's families, neighbors, and friends assume they are rich now and are constantly trying to get money from them when they are barely able to make ends meet themselves. It just breaks my heart to think of these little kids who were so excited to get these amazing new rooms would have to give them up and go back to living in horrible conditions because of irresponsibility on the part of many adults. I know this isn't the case for all contestants who have been on the show but it just breaks my heart to think about. I hope that ABC thinks about this and considers the families finances before building them a new home. Homes should be a blessing and not a curse.
