I stumbled in on a POA meeting(at Laurel Manor where I was going to exercise about a month or two ago)) with horror stories about these empty houses being on the street or next door. Janet Tuff was trying to placate people but some in the audience had done everything she said and got no results. They were mad. She tried to say there was no money to cut lawns etc. until the home sells. Many empty homes seemed to be villas. No one was happy with the run-around. Some have rats etc living in these weeds for years and people want to get off the street, of course no one would buy on a street with a house with a varmint infested, overgrown yard, no one living there for years- home. These homes will never sell. And your right, they are out of sight for the most part.
When Janet left, people followed her out with pictures and their frustration at nothing being done. Seems to be a growing problem.
I know the very posters who think it is perfect here and will have a fit with this post. I won't be home until tonight to check this board. But unless you have a vacant home in your neighborhood or go to POA meetings, you don't know what is going on. This is a very big place with many thousands 0f homes. I live on a great street in a great village south of 466, I went to one of the courtyard villas named and I couldn't believe it. Weeds high as 6 ft. No maintenance for 5 years, So folks, they are out there, and I feel for the neighbors.
