Denise LeCroy laughed out loud when she was asked to compare her family's new Patrick Air Force Base home to the old battleship-gray house they lived in for 13 years.
"There's no comparison," she said, after she finally stopped laughing.
LeCroy, her husband, Staff Sgt. Alan LeCroy, and their four daughters are among the first to move into Pelican Coast, a new development that is part of the military's unprecedented effort to eliminate crumbling houses and move families into privately built housing within the next few years.
By 2007, the Department of Defense plans to eliminate about 185,000 housing units that had been allowed to decay through neglect and poor maintenance during the past 30 years -- nearly two-thirds of its 300,000 units worldwide.
