Section 8 houses are the same way; they are rented by people who do absolutely nothing about keeping up the property. Section 8 houses in our area went on steroids under Obama, and our village’s code enforcement division has been VERY busy trying to get those houses cleaned up. But it’s a Sisyphian task, as the owners find it cheaper just to pay the fines, and the tenants just move to another Section 8 house and trash that one, as well. And the cycle continues.
In the FL suburbs where the developer no longer has control and there’s no HOA, a group of mexicans will move into a house and promptly kill all the grass and remove or smash out the windows. They don’t like paying for AC and want a dirt yard that they don’t have to mow. No bugs or snakes hiding in the grass is a plus and FL has plenty of both.
The last house I rented in FL previously had about 30 mexicans living there. I could tell by the wall stains and mashed down carpet in one of the closets that someone slept in it. They had a hole dug in the yard to use when the toilets clogged up because when the sinks clogged, they would dump their cooking lard down the toilet and clog those too. Landlord said he was over there every couple of weeks to unclog things.
We went from there to very rural MO and bought a hunk of forest. I wear lots of hats now. Everything from clearing land to building a tiny house and barn/shop to running electric service to both etc. Pest control is taken for granted. We had to get rid of german cock roaches in that last FL rental but that’s about the only pest control I ever had to worry about except for maybe the occasional mouse. Now the pests come in all shapes and sizes all the way up to coyotes. Now I feed a 100 lb dog to protect the goats from those four legged pests. Not a huge amount of ticks in suburbia but there’s millions on this property every year. and pack-rats. Big ass pack rats. That city mouse, country mouse is a real thing. The mice/rats out here won’t touch rich food. Best thing for the trap is a wad of bread. No interest in cheese.
Haven’t heard a siren in years. We still hear gunshots but the shots are aimed at targets or critters instead of brothas shooting each other in the hood 1/4 mile away in FL.
I wish I had just 1 dollar for every hour I spent dealing with fire wood.
I hear ya. Wood is our only heat source and has been for ten years now. We're up to using 4-5 cords a year. Finally bought a splitter last year. Cut a fence line around 12 acres last year and stacked 6 cords. When we finally build a real house, I'm going with earth bermed, South facing with lots of windows on the South side and will be using every passive solar technique possible. Sort of an earthship but with traditional materials. R30 roof/ceiling. I want to be able to heat with sticks and small standing dead or freshly fallen dead trees. I ain't getting no younger. Most times half the tree is rotten but the other half is good.
Yeah, add Utility aka Energy provider to the list.
You will be burned out of your towns and villages and forced to relocate.
Remember the final scenes in the movie Fiddler on the Roof when the Russians burned down the Jewish villages and forced them to scatter across Europe and America?
That's what's coming to the suburbs of blue states.

Of course liberal 'elites' will exempt themselves... there's won't be any 'stack and pack' apartment building in Martha's Vineyard... or Chappaqua... The political 'elites' know how to protect THEIR privileged.
Do you know what would put an end to this nonsense?
Make it mandatory that the first “stack and pack” complexes are built in the Hamptons, Malibu, Beverly Hills, Martha’s Vineyard, wherever the rich leftists live.
Make these idiots live up to their own rules.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a thread winnah!
Poor Old Joe- He has lived in Federal Government paid for housing so long, he doesn’t remember anything else.
Many states gave a hiatus to rent & mortgage payments during the virus issues.
Some of those people re losing that suspension as of Monday night, midnight.
Here in Nevada, rents be ome due on Sept 1st again and I still don’t know the provisions for paying the unpaid back rent. I own my property free & clear, so I am not sweating this.
It could end up in a real legal hassle.
