It was found that it was due to another neighbor down the street having blocked up the sewer.

I own another multi unit on this street as well.

Well yes, our entire lives are contingent on "3rd party platforms" of one variety of another, from the time we wake up until we go to bed at night, and even through the night.City streets, stop lights, and the power company are third party platforms.  

The main street in Tulum is still VERY local and this attracts those tourists so properties around there are worth to have a look.

At one time the gas company did the excavation for free, tore up the street, connected to the main gas line in the street, and ran the lateral to the house. 

local vs. virtual - if the greatest REI bookkeeper lives down the street from you, that means that your books only get done when they can physically get to you.

That could be expensive , if you are tying in to natural gas at the street , 5 grand and up . more if they have to cross the road . 

what do you think of the street / neighborhood? 

My neighborhood looks like it could be a C neighborhood, but my street looks like a B.

Potomac Street in Hagerstown is undergoing a significant revitalization, boasting trendy restaurants just off the square and the renovation of the Maryland Theater.
