However, as I mentioned in my original post, my immediate goal is to move out of our current townhouse into a larger single-family home that better suits my family’s needs (we have a baby and a big dog).

But that is an other story in itself.Reminds me this concept: 2 dogs fighting over a bone while the 3rd just walks away with it.Then, traffic in my case doesn't matter.

If none has been set up yet, it may be urgent, depending on your situation.Reimburse the owners for business expense.

"assistance dog" chewed up all of the doors. 

I got a very lucrative multi-day booking this fall, and then tried to cancel just a couple of weeks later claiming I want except her service dog which wasn't true.

Getting a dog (against the lease), saying it was an ESA, dragged his feet getting the paperwork to us. 

Yeah Uncle Sammy said it's now T-town and that a dog-scat deal so to kick-rocks. 

Are there dogs in the yard when you have a no-pet policy?

Not so much ;)So now investors are feeling the weight of dog properties…be it higher interest rates, non paying tenants, property values falling, government intervention (especially in CA), etc.

You are likely seeing only the dogs.
