Plant 4-5 native oaks spread out.  

Ceramic tile is no good for 2nd floor units because when tenants move a chair during the night the noise bothers the tenants below.Strangely, every home I owned in Las Vegas had ceramic tile in kitchens and when I cleaned the tile almost every house has zero chips and zero cracks.

I was definitely a very good tenant who put up with a lot of nonsense (windows that dont lock, chipping paint, mold, ancient plumbing, rude property manager, etc.).

Packaging waste other than cardboard is also a tough waste stream to manage.Post 58 - railing stainthe painters are back to stain the oak railings in the second house.

Just saw this near my office at Oak/Franklin, it's a bit crushing and makes me dig my heels in deeper to my rent controlled apartment... while continuing to invest in places like Texas, Florida, Ohio, and Wisconsin.There is certainly money to be made in the Bay Area real estate market but these are high stakes and cashflow is inconceivable at this point. 

It's not optional.This is a good start: https://www.mass.gov/the-massachusetts-lead-lawIt literally takes a child ingesting a chip of lead paint the size of a quarter to cause actual brain damage. 

Don't hold your breath, I've seen legal descriptions using landmarks; to the center of a large oak tree, to the edge of the rock outcropping, to the double fence post back to the beginning (leaving out distances in links and chains).

I traded a rental in live oak two years ago and have not looked back.

Perhaps through kindness you can chip away at his negativity and help replace it with a few happy moments.
