NO - I made that mistake when I invested in my house on the East End in 2005

You are right,it really is not the City's job to go around mowing the Grass at foreclosed properties. There is, however, an ordinance (To my layman's understanding) that allows the City to mow grass when it becomes a certain height and then bill the Property Owner.

Why they won't do that is clear to me. it is easier to collect from Joe citizen than from the Bank of America!

I'd be interested in hearing if my understanding is incorrect.

Smokey they do this because it is a minimal cost program and then they turn around pat themselves on the back and tell the citizens they are actually doing something, when in reality they have done nothing that cost the city anything including repairing their own properties that are in disrepair.........it is called ILLUSION.]]> Sun, 05 Jul 2009 12:19:41 +0000 http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=8138&title=foreclosed-properties#8138 Foreclosed Properties : Mike, your new lyrics to the song... http://www.middletownusa.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1506&PID=8135&title=foreclosed-properties#8135 Author: Smokey Burgess

Mike, your new lyrics to the song "Gilligan's Island" deserve a Grammy!Clap
 
Now that I think about it, I have besmirched the good names of the Skipper, Gilligan, Professor, Thurston Howell, etc. by changing the title to "GILLELAND's ISLAND."Ouch
 
Mike, you can add lyricist to your list of personal talents!  Thanks for the good work!Star

(To be sung to the tune of "Gilligan's Isle")
 
Just sit right back and you’ll hear a tale,

Of a town gone down the toilet,

That started out on a downward spiral,

When some folks tried to spoil it!
 
 
The boss was a love-sick, power mad gal,

The planner, a snooty worm.

Seven council members skulked with them,

For a four year term,

A four year term!

 
Finances started getting rough,

Tax levies all had failed.

And after breaking certain laws,

Some people might get jailed.

Some people might get jailed.

 
Hot tar and feathers are on the way,

To this town’s City Hall,

For Gilligan,

The planner too,

The mayor, and his vice,

Six councilmen, and ladies too,

The housing guy, the money man,

Their mouthpiece and their dupes,

There in Gilligan’s trial!

 
So this is the tale of them locked away,

They’ll be there for a long, long time.

They’ll have to make the best of things,

While they’re doing their time.

 
The planner, boss, and council too,

Will do their very best,

To put the blame on each other,

As well as all the rest.

 
No phone, no wine, no caviar,

Not a single luxury,

Like Leavenworth or Attica,

It’s as primitive as can be,

For those guilty of felonies,

After Gilligan’s trial!

With the state of the local housing market in such deep despair, why on God's green earth would senior City of Middletown staff undertake a widespread, heavy-handed housing code enforcement BLITZKRIEG now??
 
Given the large number of residential foreclosures and increasing numbers of unemployed homeowners, what's the City's rationale for implementing their HUD multi-million dollar 21st century version of URBAN RENEWAL??
 
Why did the all-knowing senior City bureaucrats abolish the PARTNERSHIP of local real estate professionals, mortgage bankers and brokers, plus target area residents who worked together with the former Community Development Administrator in addressing housing issues in a practical, cost-effective manner??
 
The local ship of state has run aground on the beaches of GILLELAND's ISLAND!!

According to www.realtytrac.com there are roughly 1000 homes in Middletown in some stage of Foreclosure and about 3700 in Butler County.
