And there you go!

......I tell my neighbors walking their dogs to not bother picking it up - it does NOT bother me and good fertilizer.

I see it as beneficial fertilizer. I don't remember ever stepping on any poop in my yard, let alone bringing it inside. I have stepped on that stuff at a square, park, or softball field once or twice, however.
........Funny thing, I have stepped in geese do-do as they fly over often here, but it was pretty dry by then. (when stepped on)
.......Dogs are capable of doing a lot of positive things. They will protect their owners. Some are capable of barking and warning anyone in an area of a danger such as a fire, an alligator walking down a street, and even a beginning earthquake. They bark and chase away burglars. Burglars avoid neighborhoods with lots of dogs. Dogs have saved drowning children and grandchildren.
.......So, I conclude that because dogs are man's best friend - they can spread some fertilizer on my yard whenever they want.

A saga in three parts...

A neighbor posted about that exact thing happening in another other forum. I checked my cameras and found the event. Played the video backwards and watched a different camera show the dog walker coming out of their house.
Showed video to my neighbor. They had a talk with the dog walker, who denied everything. After a bit of conversation, dog walker seems to have seen the stupidity of their actions.
Neighbor now has cameras.
Problem has not repeated since.
It's a shame that a very small number of people seem to cause the majority of problems.

So, you neighbor's dog walker let your neighbor's own dog poop poop in their own bushes?

Or am I missing something?

Can any folks give a (very) ballpark estimate as to the difference in property taxes between a home with houses on either end vs. one on a corner or at the end of cul-de-sac?

Same thing with lawn maintenance, pest control, irrigation, etc.

Or are there definite benefits of a corner/cul-de-sac (over and above less neighbors and/or noise?)

Thanks!

Pick a street, look up the particulars on the county assessor’s website.

JimJam....dog poop is NOT good fertilizer. Only animals that eat grain only. I feel bad for your lawn cutter. That crap on their blades is not wanted or needed

[bowlingal]

Sandy & Ed....boy....you don't ask for much do you? You are talking big bucks to find a house that you are describing, if you can find all those features at all in the area a person wants. I'm guessing.....NOT

I live across from two corners and yes I see it all the time.

You missed something.

Neighbor A took their dog for a walk.

Neighbor A allowed their dog to wander into everybody's front yard. Dog was on a very long retractable leash. Dog was allowed to go all the way up to the actual house structure, often through the landscaping people have directly in front of the houses.

When dog was allowed to wander into the landscaped area of neighbor B house, the dog did #2.

Neighbor A watched dog during this time. Was well aware of what was going on. Did not make any attempt to clean it up. Nor did they seem to care. Just walked away.

Neighbor B posted about finding the "evidence". Was quite upset that someone was so inconsiderate.

Video showed exactly what Neighbor A dog did on Neighbor B property.

So that "I've never seen that happen here" is not an accurate summary of things that go on around here by inconsiderate people.

Yes, we are. We really hate the crap the dogs leave in our yards.

I don't understand why people cannot tell the difference between a dog hater and a dog-poop in my yard from someone else's dog hater?

[psrue223]

I have corner lot with courtyard villa n love it for xtra space n is quieter!

I have had no issues with folks or their dogs. I am on cul de sac so everyone is a neighbor n they r very responsible n courteous about their pets.

Well, considering none of that info was in your post I responded to, it certainly changes things...
