Boy, i'd sure like to have you on my team the next time I fuck up and want to avoid it.
First you have to accurately picture the scenario realize and what's involved. I think you're failing in this regard.
Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.

Dude, I live HERE, I own property HERE. I've laid grass HERE. I've dealt with code enforcement HERE. I've been to court HERE. I know EXACTLY what went wrong HERE. My picture is quite clear. You know nothing.

I know enough to know that you can't just toss grass seed down on top of dead lawn and not have it dry out without something...namely soil...to keep it wet long enough in the hot sun all day so it will germinate enough over a 2 week period to call it anything close to a lawn without wasting both your time and money.
not in this universe.

I'm sorry, your expertise in botany notwithstanding, you know nothing (about this situation).

I know they guy has no cash to do any of the above....nor does he, or should he have time to waste with your ideas of how to repair his lawn, or germinate grass seed...any seed for that matter. You're really not making any conclusive points that I can see in that regard.. The guy is admittedly flat broke in light of his newfound financial circumstances, to the point he is either forced to sell over the state of his property, or take the jail time by defaulting. He took the jail time over principles he thought were seemingly trivial...such as the color of his yard. It's really no more complicated than that.

I applaud your big heart, but I wish it was pulling for people who actually do try and work hard and obey the law and are accountable.
That's really the problem here, and it is no more ciompicated than that.
Maybe the guy has worked hard all his life, and is losing his shirt in light of current economic troubles?
I think there's probably going to be a lot more of this type of financial hardship coming up, and close caring not so critical neighbors are going to be an invaluable resource to get through it successfully.

he bought his home in '98. He's still doubled his money even in today's market. THATS A FACT. If he is broke, it's because he re-fied long before this into that rediculous mortgage with no regard for his own future and spent himself silly. THAT'S A FACT. If he had not re-fied, brokers would be tackling eachother to get to the guy. Problem solved.
You can't blame anyone but him. He's actually one of the people who got us into this mess.
Again, I know, I live here. I know what homes cost then and now. And I know what behavior people were engaging in during the boom.

The housing bubble is not the cause of this ongoing financial crisis. It's one result of, but not the cause. The cause lies at the international banker level manipulating the money system to prey on human nature through greed, by creating a false sense of net worth and actual value....all the while they print more money out of thin air to rob people blind in front of their very eyes.

granted, but we've known for three years now that this was coming, and it didn't stop people from acting like jackals. thanks for finally agreeing with me on this.

I think many people are still very much unaware of what's taking place economically above them, and just go about their day to day lives looking for whatever best suits their interests at the time. It's human nature to a large degree. Personally I wouldn't want to take on the responsibility of maintaining 5 acres unless I had a landscaping budget accounted for, or was planning on farming on a significant portion to survive as compensation Granted this guy isn't the sharpest ginsu knife in the drawer, and he might have never ever seen it as a potential problem financially to begin with given his finances and budget plan, but I do feel sorry for his circumstances in a way that some just run through a maze chasing the dream not really understanding much of what goes on outside their immediate surroundings. I'd take back everything good I've ever said about the guy, if he doesn't use this as a lesson, and learn from it.

much better.
escept that if you own a home and didn't see this coming, then you got Darwin'd. that's a tough break. i feel bad, i really do. but that's life.
he went to jail for a couple days. It's not like the guy's a martyr.
