Not sure if Matilda was referring to this as well but I was referring to the actual yards.

Guess I'm different because I'd be a sidewalk manicuring fool if that was growing out of the sidewalk in front of my house. I'd also call the city and have them address it.

I sure if the homes decreased in value, some of you would complain.

We may not have HOAs, but Code Enforcement does a good job if neighbors report the issue.

Gross-- if you want an HOA move to Milton. It's live and let live down here.

I don't see how anyone could live in the metro. The traffic, for the population, is absolutely armageddon. There are no good commutes.

I'm sorry, but if the market was 'overvalued', doesn't it stand to reason that it would be depressed? On the contrary, it's on fire. Somebody please explain it to me, because so far the whole premise just sounds like a load of crap.

MARTA rail offers a stress-free commute.

Nope, it's not live and let live. There are some intown communities where neighbors are actually inclined to manicure their lawns (I live in one) and, as Cqholt said, code enforcement apparently can handle the rest. The rest estate investment intown is just too much per square foot to allow a bunch of eyesores. Intown does not equal let it all hang out, who cares. It just means close in. But alas, attitudes like yours are possibly the reason that we do see it. In what area do you own a single family home intown in which you are ok with allowing eyesores neighboring your investment?

I wouldn't bother. I think he lives in Alabama or someplace else.

My car commute from Buckhead to Midtown was pretty sweet too. 8 minutes door to door.
