Theyve been driving over the neighbors lawn (no easement) to the nearest street.

Also once a week they take half a day and go around to the properties and hit the lawns, or driveways for snow in the winter and such.

So, artificially holding it up will just mean it has further to fall when it finally does.Actually, I think he economy is headed in a bad direction, and it would be better to let it get there sooner rather than later.

HOA $169 month includes cable/phone, lawn irrigation, maintence.

Im part owner of a family owned lawn care business also.

(we always mowed the lawn for her and the LL knew that).

The tenants climb in and out the windows, and one of them keeps wandering around inside the neighbor's houses and yards.There is filth and garbage and dead cars on the lawn.

At one time, I had the largest lawn mover, weed whacker, shovel, water hose, and wheel barrow collection on the West Coast!

There are ways of covering up a poor market with artificially low interest rates, injection of capital which causes inflation, and other little tricks.

The combination of overly aggressive mortgage brokers, appraisers who are in the realtor's/mortgage broker's pockets, and greedy lenders led to a situation where housing demand was grossly artificially inflated.
