They don't always get it right or correctly anticipate external influences on a given neighborhood, but there is typically a lot of psychological investment in zoning.  

I think most cities just drive up and down the streets noting obvious external changes as they don't seem to have time to spend a minute doing a walk through and recording it and comparing i with the previous walk through the previous year. 

My only concern (due to lack of knowledge of the area) is if there are any avoidable spots in Kyle area due to some external factors (crime or bad schools or low income areas etc).

Solar-Powered Cameras need no external power and are great for places with limited access.

These tanks, and direct vent gas furnaces/boilers, can be plumbed directly through the side of the building (foundation wall, sill plate, etc) provide the exhaust exists the required distance from an operable window, door, or other air intake.From an energy efficiency stand-point, direct vented fixtures are preferable as they are not taking their supply of combustion air from the conditioned space of the building (are you have already heated), causing colder, external air to be drawn into the building.Additionally, as Pat has pointed out, direct vented fixtures reduce the risk of natural gas/propane or CO being drawn back into the conditioned space of the home. 

None of the technology companies I've worked at would ever consider external submissions to internal communication lists.

@Andrew Holmes  The city of Chicago uses code enforcement to ensure absentee landlords and non performing property managers are not dragging down blocks and neighborhoods especially in tougher areas where there are already plenty of external factors working against a community.  

It's just another external variable.

I am basing my assumptions that it won't be severe on the fact that we've seen what happened with much harsher underlying causes and it didn't have a huge effect on our market.
