The smell and noise of gas golf carts, commercial vehicles, people walking by talking, horns honking, dogs barking, tires screeching, noisy diesel trucks, lack of any privacy . . . the list goes on. And to add insult to injury, having to pay a premium for the lot itself . . . . . No siree!
Quite a bit of hyperbole there. I live in a house that backs up to Morse plus the MMP. Do I hear golf carts, yes. Intrusive, no. Do I hear people walking on the MMP, yes. Intrusive, no. Do I get the smell from golf carts, diesel trucks, no. Do I hear tires screeching, rarely. Do I have privacy, yes, but less than if I lived out in the country and more than with a home behind me. My lot was well worth the premium and not an insult or injury.
