I left L.A. a few years ago but mainly due to taxes, pollution and traffic. 

You also want to be able to switch coverage on the fly between a property being vacant, occupied or under renovation as sometimes you might experience a longer vacancy than expected during a turn or have to do a more major renovation after many years.Also, all "personal" policies and "personal umbrella" policies have what is called a "Total Pollution Exclusion."

The pollutant from auto exhaust is a heath concern along 200-400 ft away.

I'm a big fan of Whiting, I have some concerns about legacy pollution/soil remediation there, but great location and the prices help make up for the industrial issues.

Along with considerably less light pollution, traffic, & a-holescheers

Whiting is one of those areas that you need to be a bit careful though, Them and more so East Chicago have had a lot of incidents of lead and arsenic pollution in the soil.https://wgntv.com/2018/05/08/more-lead-contamination-found-in-nw-indiana-soil/

I start my research in that order (below):1. www.trulia.org - Shows the Heat Map and the average price in the city you are looking for properties and neighboring Zip Codes2. www.bestplaces.net - shows the population, expected population growth, pollution, schooling, spending on schools, job growth, rental vacancy rate, etc. compares with National Average3. www.ofheo.gov - gives you the complete of list of appreciating and depreciating cities nationwide - Downloadable PDF4. www.huduser.org - fair market rents - downloadable Excel.

Not even talking about safety or pollution etc. here, they’re just so much better to cook on (they’re also much safer and pollute a lot less though).

Bring meds back to pharmacies for disposal.Grease & Fat – Congeals once it cools down, filling pipes with a solid mass that blocks pipes.Pesticides – Destroys the good bacteria used to break down waste at treatmentCat LitterTampons and Pads –These items are too thick for toilet pipes.Cigarette Butts – Full of toxic chemicals that can pollute waterways.Chewing Gum – Can literally gum up the works.Nail Polish & Remover – Toxic.Dead Pet Goldfish – Not necessarily bad, but can cause problems with clogging or could introduce disease into septic system.CosmeticsPaper Towels – Do not break down like toilet paper; Too thick for plumbing pipes.Tenant(s) have inspected and tested all drains, faucets, and sinks to ensure that there are no problems with the plumbing upon taking possession of the unit._____________________________ ___________________________________________ ______________I have my tenants read and sign the following after being in the same situation but only on the hook for $250.

NONE of this is news to you.So why are you even considering bandit signs.It is stupid, selfish, you are polluting the scenery for EVERYONE despite KNOWING it is not legal, but as long as YOU get a deal out of it, who cares ruining it for everyone right?
