If you don't want to mow a lawn don't have a lawn


That'd be great, but some places won't even allow that. I know my cousin's HOA won't allow him to landscape his yard into...whatever you call it a planter box thing.

It makes sense though. Typically you don't want to live in a neighborhood full of eyesores. You want to know that your neighbors care about maintaining their property and the values of said properties. It's a huge problem where I live, landlords rent out their places and let them go to shit because all they care about is collecting a rent check, not about keeping things nice. Then when their tenants move, they clean it up just enough to get a new set of tenants in there.


Why does the eyesore matter to you though? Does it make any difference in the end?

As far as I'm concerned, the eyesore only matters insofar as it generates people less money. It feels like this chicken and the egg situation where people refuse to buy homes near eyesores because they think they won't be able to resell it. So the ones who are trying to resell it don't get buyers.

Hell, if anything I would think you would want an eyesore nearby so people can see how much better your house looks in comparison. It's like having an ugly friend around so you look better by proxy.

At the end of the day, someone else's property should not matter in relation to your own. Yes, I understand this is not the reality, but I'm talking about the principle of it.
