[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They might be Asians.
My Asian mother moved into a nice neighborhood and has been ruining it for her neighbors. Asians don't have a history of a big lawn on their property and didn't ache to imitate the English estates via the big lawn. Look at any Asian home with the laundry strung out on the balcony and AC condenser perched wherever is most convenient. All sorts of knick knacks will be set out on the stoop to dry. My mother sometimes hung salted fish in the backyard.
My real estate agent Asian uncle looked at her house and side whispered to me that he could tell by appearances if a Chinese person owned the property.[/quote]

I posted about my DH but missed this comment. This is totally my DH’s family and I love them but also would never want to be their neighbors. They’ll use junk mail and masking tape to make indoor repairs. They would move or hope for a natural disaster to trigger an insurance-funded replacement before they had to install a new roof or paint a house. When we lived in another state, we got multiple citations at our own house from the city while I was briefly working abroad because DH kept procrastinating mowing.

We are in southern CA and our neighborhood includes some questionable renovations. DH calls the aesthetic “closeout sale at the Asian building supply place”.[/quote]

I hate this but this was my recent "from that country" neighbor who just sold her house after half-assing every repair over a decade. There were never any upgrades that doesn't need to be said.

Before she sold, she literally hired a handy man to cut out pieces of structural sheathing all over the house exterior and simply patch it with plywood and caulk... CAULK, and then cover it up. Then she claimed with insurance hail damage to replace a roof yet nobody else on the street had any damage. Her roof was just old. I could go on and on. She made good income.[/quote]
