this may be an awful idea but, i feel that something needs to be done. many of the houses on rose between payne and arcade are pretty bad looking. what would people think about going around and looking at all of the houses and actually making a list of things that could be repaired or added to make the houses look better. i'm not saying we should go around and scold people, and if they can't afford or aren't able to do it themselves, we could all figure something out together. i think that if a homeowner knew that even though they may not notice it anymore, the first things others notice is that their lawn looks bad or their gutters are hanging off the side of the house or that their house could use a fresh coat of paint. while i understand that painting and other repairs are not cheap, fixing up your house is good for everyone including yourself if you ever want to sell. besides, i think that if we all fixed up our houses, we would have a great neighborhood that you will want to live in for a lot longer. also, if people need help painting or doing things like that, we should schedule weekend repairs. if we spent 1 weekend per house, imagine how much work we could all get done, not to mention getting to know your neighbors.
