who among those neighbors moved into their homes because they wanted to live next door to a motel? These things destroy neighborhoods and the conviviality and safety. It is not just big business; it is people who read financial newsletters and see a way to make money. They do not even live locally because in this area, they are not appreciated. They do not buy next to their own homes but go to well-maintained older neighborhoods that have not caught up to the exploitation of it and protected themselves.
