I can definitely understand your concerns re: neighbors maintaining their properties. There are definitely quite a few homes in our community which are in need of repair...I'm not sure what we can do to encourage these homeowners to focus on these repairs. I would hope that by witnessing my own efforts, others would be motivated to put some effort into their own properties.
On a positive note, I just wanted to say how much I appreciate those neighbors that do put a lot of hard work, time, and effort into keeping their homes and properties looking good. And I especially love seeing children working with their families on the up-keep. It's important to get the children involved in beautifying the neighborhood - I can't tell you how frustrating it is to see chldren littering the neighborhood.
