This is a common problem due to cuts in landscape budgets. I once lived in a city where the boy scouts had to repair park fixtures.

Sorry don't get that. If you buy a home u need to commit to maintaining the outside as well as the inside. Don't tell me someone with two children and doing renovations cannot find a way to at least mow the grass. Being a good neighbor and showing respect for your neighborhood is an important part of being a home owner.

Perhaps that person is tired. Why dont you go over there and offer to help instead of complaining.

I tried that during a snowstorm but no thanks was given. Apparently being a good neighbor no longer exists. Excuses excuses excuses! No pride in property in this town!

There have been cuts in the budget.
