Clean er up

The county several years ago created health and safety regulations to force clean up of blighted and trashed properties outside of city limits. They continue to enforce these rules and it's had a decent affect. The IXL area, for example, is much tidier than it was a few years ago. Short of zoning, this was step in the right direction to create some influence over property owners who let their place go and devalue the rest of ours, not to mention the safety and general aesthetics of the county.

I agree with you on this one Dave. The city should enforce those codes, I just wish they would spend A little more tax money on these blighted areas. I know alot of it would just be on the surface, but to show the residents that the city cares about the value of there nieghborhoods would probably go a long way. Streets and sidewalks are just two good examples.
