I have enough problems of my own.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
A while ago the BLM people were trying to get the middle class older people to will their home to generationally poor Black families.
Some wag asked me if I was going to do that and I said that I am not that cruel. I wouldn't do that to a generationally poor family of any race whatsoever.
First of all they would lose it to taxes and wind off worse than they
were to begin with.
Secondly most of them have no concept of what it is like living in the suburbs. It takes a lot of work, time and effort. No landlords to call here when the toilet plugs up or the refrigerator conks out. You're on your own and most city folks don't know how to repair things.
Let's face it, they don't understand basic suburban maintenance. Lawns must be mowed, yards must be kept up, tools must be taken care of. Too many urban dwellers don't even know how to start a lawn mower much less use one.
It's called ownership. You own it and it's YOUR responsibility to take care of it, and nobody else's.
Another thing that has to be learned is that the neighbor's lawn is not your personal baseball field, either. Play in your own yard.
Inside a few months the most perfectly maintained home will go to seed without being taken care of. Needless to say this is not going to endear you to your hard working neighbors. They bust their ass to keep up their appearances and expect you to do likewise. It's part of what makes a neighborhood like that a decent place to live. If you don't keep things up they will hate you and you will probably wonder why and blame it on the usual sad, tired excuses you used when you were back in the city.
I am not cruel enough to hand a generationally poor person home ownership.
