I'm obligated to root for the Cutters since I'm a townie.

They had already run it through a dirt screener to take out large concrete and any roots, etc. 

Yes singling out STRs only on this addage, exempting hotels, seems like rooting for one team over the other.

Seems like they have a pretty deep rooted middle class African-American population, so what gentrification do some of you commenters propose to bring to the area?

When it comes to properties in pre-foreclosure, my approach is rooted in empathy.

We're rooting for your success in building your portfolio!

If that is the ratio, then I'll probably be sticking to some more "grass-root" approaches until I have a more reliable funnel.  

As I've also outlined in other posts, popular misconceptions of what the program guarantees or does not guarantee are also at the root of many poor experiences with the program.

I suspect Doug’s reference to the harassment over the cut branch was related to the proximity to the power lines.i had an oak where the roots were starting to impact the foundation of the property.
