Our clients have a wide range of asset allocation, either just starting out with non-traditional investments and therefore still weighted towards equities & bonds, or like Arlan & Elizabeth here, much more heavily tilted towards real property associated investments.  

Like any city areas vary widely.

One thing that seems clear is that very few real estate investors around the country are working the TDR angle.

SO, I won't ask the same question again but pose it from a different angle.

Grind the crack with an angle grinder concrete blade. 

It is oppressive.Put some flowering plants in front and maybe some hanging plants of angle brackets off the posts or from the porch ceiling to brighten things up.

Of course, as a landlord, attempts to maintain the business angle often fall on deaf ears. 

They cast the net wide, then follow up on every lead.

And it is 24" wide.  

(The ditch will likely be 8' wide - I'm guessing they need 75' for bulldozer races) When asked if we would be compensated for our loss of trees, here was the response: "We're not going to take your trees - we'll leave them laying right there for you to do with what you want when the project is over."
