Lots of open space here but they build houses here very close together. Have never understood that. I guess they can put more houses in and make more money. Honestly New England is a lot nicer than here. Nobody takes care of anything here, properties also weed infested and trash everywhere. If you need a new living room coach you could probably find a few on the side of roads of our highways. There is no such thing as litter control here and in this county we do not separate the trash, everything gets dumped in the landfill out in the desert.
the housing crisis here, has led to a city councilman, to propose a Bill to add "density" to the neighborhoods, by building houses where there may be as little as a postage stamps worth of space......i kid you not....
this is a very old part of the country, where way back at least 200 years ago, (my house is almost 165 years old) , hardly anyone had cars.......people walked.....and there are hardly any closets.....and only 1 bathroom per family (i own a 3 family or Multi-family home).....
there was NO plumbing or electricity originally in my house...so the plumbers, cut support beams, for the pipes to be put in...this house still has, piping for natural gas lights.....
as a result, many houses here are "lucky" to have a car's width between them...one house catches fire..??
many will burn, that's my biggest fear.
we do have rubbish pick up weekly, as well as recycling pick up, same day..
weeds grow here too, but i own my home and i make darned sure i take care of business..... but many of the other houses are owned by "investors or speculators" who only collect the rent......tenants are on their own to shovel snow, take out thier garbage, and find parking if the house has NO space for cars..remember what i said, NO ONE had cars back in the 1800's.....
you would not want to live in New England, we are held hostage by the fools that vote Dumbocrat, and love the BS of that party...
i cannot escape, for 2 reasons..
1) i am not Snake Plissken
2) at my age and at the high prices of everything, like buying another house, or condo, or even a mobile home, is not something i want to start over doing.
3) too many family here for me to leave, and no, i will not skype, facebook, or anything else to see my great grand kids.
