Here's the site for Fairfax County http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/code/ . We've had a lot of problems with boarding houses in our area and my neighbhors and I have used this site a lot. |
Some people are trying everything that they can do to survive, shame may not be the right answer. Maybe you could find it in your heart to have empathy instead of disgust... Maybe ask them if there is anything you can do to help the situation, instead of teaching your children to look down on people in need. |
My neighbor puts bags of garbage in her yard. The entire yard is covered in trash. She is on housing assistance and gets child tax credits and lives a more affluent life than I do. She actually rented a car and took a vacation, so I have no pity on her. She has used her back yard as a garbage can for the past 6 months and it stinks and she won't clean it up. She acts like it's MY fault because i'm bothered by it.
I absolutely do not feel sorry for her. She is an awful neighbor who doesn't care how annoying her garbage is. |

We don’t use cans because dog walkers keep leaving their dog poop in our cans and they smell awful (like I get dizzy walking past them). I have better things to do than weekly washing of my trash cans because of dog walkers. And yes they are only out for trash day, but we get a lot of inconsiderate dog walkers so it’s unlikely I will get trash cans in before they have made a deposit. |
