Many communities have issues that bother or even cause trouble in the community. In my community the thing I most worry about is children safety while playing in the streets. Home appearance is also a big thing not only to the neighbors but to potential buyers. Also lawn care when your lawn is green and others look like deserts. The safety, lawn care, and appearance are an issue in every community that can cause either a place for great living or tension among neighbors.
In my community there is a lot of families that like every other community has children that play not only in the yards, sidewalks, and streets. This is a very serious safety issue in my eyes due to the children being un-supervised. Other people in the community speed over the limit posted and children play there and may be hit or injured. Even though the children play in the street it cause a safety risk to drivers that don’t speed or drive wreck less do to the children running in and out of the streets without looking for cars. The children are our future and they need to be protected.
When a person is looking to buy a future home they want to see a nice neighborhood that looks respectable and not as if it’s a bad neighborhood. The appearance of a home in my belief can say a lot about the people who live there. Someone who takes care of their home for example pressure washing, not trash in yard, paint nicely applied. Also there are some resident that don’t have the money but the residents should do as much as they can. To give an example of this a resident in my neighborhood has fixed the garage door which is tilted half way closed and it’s not very appealing.
The appearance of a residents lawn as well as home its self make a community. A yard or lawn care should at the minimum have the grass mowed. The plants should be not over grown or deceased. Living in Florida the grass isn’t always going to be perfect do to the weather and climate here. An overgrown lawn put a hurt on the appearance of the houses around the ugly lawn. Cleaning inside the residents home isn’t the upkeep the person must do the yard must not be ignored. I believe an easy way to fix this eye sore issue is to create a small competition amongst the resident for most outstanding lawn. This competition was implanted in my community and it work.
In the millions of communities around the world everyone wants a clean, safe, and nice looking neighborhood. The neighborhood is a direct reflection of the neighbors that live there. When a potential buy or buyers enter in a community they look at everything safety, appearance of houses, neighbors. I know this because I recently bought a house last year and this is what I looked for. Every community would be much safer and nicer to look at if everyone would put in the time and care for their homes.
