The condition of her property affects the value of all other properties near her, and the city has laws agaisnt keeping a messy property.
So, when you move to some town, you best make sure that you can live with their laws, because you can't decide not to adhere to them and still expect to live there.
Tough - The idea that you think the Gov't should be in existence to make sure your property values don't decrease is utter nonsense.....and that type of mindset is exactly what had led to the size of Gov't we have now...at all levels!
If you want to make sure nothing near your home can decrese its property value....then buy more property around you. Period.

Just because Gov't grows / morphs itself in to a larger and larger entity does not mean all the silly laws and regulations it puts out...are right! -
Your mindset on this issue falls right in line with all the wasteful and counterproductive regulations that are placed on business daily.....that are placed on individuals daily...that are even placed on our military daily.
It is nonsense to suggest because the Gov't grows itself by passing more and more self-enpowering rules....the ends justify the means.
