On landscaping we used existing plants and made something out of nothing.

Chinese proverb: best day to plant a tree was 20 years ago.

If there is a shortage of affordable housing or a new production plant opening nearby or something like that which would demonstrate a public interest, then push-ups they would approve your request.

People can also make claims if you walk past their window that you blocked the sun from hitting their plant and need to pay..... sooooo.

We have a 3M plant in my state that manufactures masks and they have moved to 24 hour production.

There are also local economies - university(MTSU), Nissan plant, big medical center, that can limit a downturn.

Lobby/garden “happy hours” on designated days, intranet portal for residents, vetted and dedicated dog walker, plant watered, some kind of delivery arrangement discount with local restaurants....Free library in lobby, zip car space in parking lot Maybe I can think of more after coffee

I learned how to do HVAC, roofing, pluming, tile laying, laminate flooring, concrete counter-tops, drywall, texturing walls and ceiling, fixing foundations, trim, electrical, framing, and so much about the process of buying a property.

I replaced the flooring, appliances, plumbing fixtures, lighting, re-textured the walls and ceilings and repainted.
