[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I live in a neighborhood where homes go for 2-5M. Our yard is a glorious mess: as in, my husband and I coddle our handpicked prize roses, jasmine, mock-orange, lilac, Japanese maples, etc, but leave empty plant containers and potting soil bags lying around. Debris come from the busy street into our front yard and we don't immediately pick them up. And my husband, responsible for cutting grass, lets it go to seed at least once per growing season. We don't rake diligently and when we do, we use leaf debris for mulch, as nature intended - no buying mulch ever. The driveway is damaged because lots of people are surprised by the one-way sign and turn around in our driveway - I am not fixing that, it's going to get damaged all over again. People probably excuse us because we have the smallest house in the neighborhood, and they think we're poor. Not at all! We'd the same on a large property with a large house. We love plants but we don't care about your ridiculous standards for lawn and whatnot. So gripe away, OP! You make me laugh. [/quote] This is not the flex you think it is, I hate people like you, single handedly bringing down property values.[/quote] That doesn't bring down property values. But a recession certainly will! Sorry to hear it sounds like you put your eggs all in one basket *smiles*[/quote] Spouse and I put an offer in on a house in Va and walked away when we went got the HOA docs and saw they had no teeth. We noticed on visits to the neighborhood that houses had damage to garage doors etc that went unrepaired. We got the hoa docs and even went to an HOA meeting and dropped our offer after that.
