We suspected he was running a "business" there also and after a couple visits by the sheriff's department we figured our thoughts were correct. Luckily the property management company kicked that family out and the current renter maintains the property very well. Do you really think a prospective buyer would have believed that it wasn't a problem having a jungle next door to the house they were looking at? Do you really think we would have gotten a full price offer? If I was looking at a home to purchase in that village and saw that collection of carts, I would have told the realtor to just forget that area and go to the next one. If that was your house that lost a potential sale, would you still think that it wasn't a problem?
That is the point I was trying to make, only you said it a lot better, Number 10 GI.
