As a homeowner and a City employee, I find it very disturbing that my block let alone my neighborhood is being rundown down by the minute. I and my neighbors try very hard to maintain our homes and to keep our block clean. With the recession and real estate/housing market in dispair, we tend to keep our homes beautiful. The vacant I had posted would be a great spot for a mural and/or make it into a garden or a lovely sitting place for my senior neighbors.
