Possible development behind house?

I'm interested in a home that has a large green space behind it. It is one of the selling points. But i'm not sure if it will always be green space and who owns it or what is planned for it. I don't know how to figure out the address or how to search it in the county website. How can i find out?

Buying a house with a crack foundation?

The house of my dreams is for sale and has been on the market for 6 months. I finally went to see it and I want to buy it but I think the reason it has been on the market for so long is because it has a cracked foundation. They are selling as is. How much will it cost to fix that? Is it worth buying the house with a cracked foundation if it is my dream home!
