Here is my guess why "The Family" hasn't done this. It is very inexpensive to have your lawn mown here, most people I know pay around $40 a month..for a yearly contract. So that means that the kids who do it don't make a LOT of money. However the residents, SOME of the residents are picky...so that if they missed a blade of grass, blew grass clippings into the street or on the drive, came too early or too late or did the slightest thing wrong you would have to pay a plethora of customer service people to answer calls and try to fix real and imagined problems. This way the multiple trucks clogging the streets can have their wives (or husbands) answer the phone before they decide to quit doing this and do something else for a living.


Next?
