"Vox Humana" wrote in message . .. "Ann" wrote in message ... "Doug Kanter" expounded: Would it bother you if your neighbor across the street parked an old car on his lawn, left it there to rust for 5 years, and for whatever reason, there was absolutely no way you could block the view using plants, fence, etc? When I bought my house the next door neighbors basically had a junkyard in their backyard. Dead washers, dryers, three rusting tin sheds, a couple junk trucks, all kinds of tires, etc. Oh well. I loved my house. They've moved on, new people live there now, they've cleaned it up, life goes on. It's amazing what you can live with when it really doesn't affect your basic life functions, like eating, drinking, etc. Of course I'd rather not look at junk, but I'm not paying their taxes or their mortgage. It's basically none of my business. How would you have felt if you needed to sell your house while the neighbors had a virtual junkyard? I don't mean WANT to sell, but NEED to sell. What if, due to the trashy neighbors, you found that there were few people interested in looking let alone making an offer? The offers you do get are low-balls. That is a situation where it does become your business because the junk reduces your property value or makes your house impossible to sell. I feel your pain and I'd not be too thrilled either, but I agree that at the end of the day, they can do whatever the hell they want. It's their property and their mortgage. Until I start paying it, it's none of my business. |
