There is a lot of validity to what you are saying BG, but when flippers come out looking like civic minded saints that’s too much! Average people with average business ethics AT BEST. That’s all I’m saying. No need for extremes.
I have never looked down on my neighbors who don’t have the means, or maybe just don’t prioritize to make and keep a property looking “turnkey”. That sounds like lets play “Ken and Barbie” with our shelter. I don’t get that? It’s not my business as long as they aren’t robbing me,or disturbing the peace or something. If you want someone to play God that’s what gated/HOA communities are for. Our neighbors don’t owe us anything but to let us live and let live.
