Umm. My impression from the prices of real estate in the area is that
folks who own real estate stand to make some nice money. I saw a listing
at 46th and Spruce that is OVER $500.000. A middle class couple

was them who contacted the police to complain, without ever complaining to me
first). *I* got the ticket FOUR MONTHS after it was written up. The
I too got one of these tickets, as did several of my neighbors. Not the
neighbor whose front yard is an experiment in ecosystem reversion, i.e.,
see what happens when you do nothing for years.
The same timing nonsense occurred (written in August, filed in January.)
