You are missing my point..when you said there are a few houses here and there, why? Why does TV allow a few here and there in Silver Lake? You would never see these run down abandoned houses in say Tall trees, Glenbrook or Mira Mesa. They would never be allowed to turn into broken window houses like they are here. We pay our taxes and amenities fees here in SL just like everyone else..why do we have to live next to these houses for years on end?

The house with the tree coming out the roof was actually purchased a few months ago. The inside was covered in mold as well and these people paid $100.000 for this house! Wow! Probably the worst example of one of these houses where trees are growing in the gutters is on Jeffery, right after you come through the gate on the right side. There are only 3 or 4 houses on that street so it's easy to spot...look for the pile of moldy furniture thrown under the carport! This is the one where the front door was off and the neighbors think squatters were living in it for awhile. Now, again..why do we have to live with this sight?
