With humans, a man is young, then grows, then turns old, then dies.
With places, a place is open and free, then gets crowded, then turns democrat, then dies.
Arguing against that cycle is like arguing against aging, or saying water is wrong to turn to ice when it gets cold enough.
There was a house rented to Stanford students for 15 or 20 years a block over from us. It always looked like that. Horrendous eyesore and blight on the entire neighborhood.
Your photo with all the cars on the lawn is what will happen. I was going to ask how all the extra cars would be accommodated.
That photo brings to mind the first home we purchased. I recently looked it up on Bing maps. It is in Northern Virginia...a bedroom community of Washington DC. Purchased new in 1975, a 4 bedroom 2.5 bath split level on a cul-de-sac. Now it is a 9 bedroom 3.5 bath with 6 cars and a pickup truck on the part of the lot that was visible from the street. It started out an integrated, multi-cultural neighborhood, now is 57% Hispanic.
The sandbag in front of the step is a nice touch.
