I am in Southern California so I could easily post this everyday and find a few new buyers and no one would notice due to the high amount of traffic that my local craigslist receives.

To not be there will make it tough to attract the bulk of the buyers.Signage at the property can help if there is high traffic.

It is highly desirable to blend uses into the area thereby protecting the residential character of the area; but not create architectural or traffic conflicts nor permit the commercial development to expand into a regional center of such scope and variety as to attract significant volumes of traffic from outside the neighborhood.Even though I can think of innovative ways to increase the rent and current job market in Bakersfield with plenty of jobs in Oil and gas and agriculture section make this increased rent very doable, but I see that as wishful thinking and when making an offer, I want to be as realistic as possible and I will not hope for any income above fair market value.I have a feeling that most challenging part in real estate is finding the right property at the right price.

I'm using the Allure Traffic Master brand that is supposed to be the most durable.

Hi Oleg, don't think I can say anything that hasn't already been said but personally, if I was in your situation, I would spring for a really really nice tall fence to block out traffic and what seems to be a commercial or industrial space.

Many places around here will allow a person to talk informally to city planners to see if a project makes sense relative to the city growth 'vision' and density limitations (if any... but traffic, amenities, etc.).

Luckily, I will continue to work on the North Slope of Alaska so I won't ever have to deal with rush hour traffic. 

The grout was a dark gray/black in most areas and a light normal color where there had been little traffic.

Maybe same scenario where there isn't a sink but at least you could relive some of the traffic off your main kitchen. 

One property nearby is pretty blighted and gets "traffic" (a euphemism) and has a mini-junkyard accumulated out front and in back...
