While driving around town many of us have become increasingly bothered by the run-down condition of properties. Overgrown grass, untrimmed shrubs, weeds covering sidewalks, trash piled up in yards, and litter everywhere. Homeowners (and this includes absentee landlords) need to be held accountable for the condition and upkeep of their property. There are by-laws on the books pertaining to property maintenance, and these laws need to be enforced. There should be a system of warnings and fines for non-compliance. As it is now, many neighborhoods have the look of a run-down, blighted community. This is a quality of life issue.
