Property Leeches

They buy up houses or land and invest nothing in development, beautification, improvement – to the chagrin of the neighbors who must endure the disparaging condition of the degrading property.   They care, apparently, nothing for their neighbor’s property and their well-being, but seek only their own advancement in wealth. 

‘Tis really nothing new. Human depravity on display in the venue of real estate.  Another display of the failure of neighbors to love their neighbors.

And so, those sometimes cumbersome regulations are mandated in some neighborhoods across the land.  Irritating fines are imposed when paint is peeling or lawn is overgrown.

“Freedom!” we often cry.  And it is a good thing.  But human depravity turns it, at times, into a bad thing for neighbors.
