Back when Habitat for Humanity started to take over our neighborhood, Mary called the local director and asked if they were going to build any more on our block (three out of 12 houses are H4H) and let them know we would seek an injunction if so. She pointed out that it is killing the value of our home and we would not allow any more. He responded with the most STUPID reply saying that "while they are Muslums, they are nicer then some Christians I know"
I could not believe WHAT A MORON he was. This had nothing to do with race. This had to do with them killing the value of our biggest asset. If somebody broke in and stole $20,000 from his bank account, then I am sure he would want to get it back. We cant get ours back, we just wanted to make sure they did not take any more.
So they built their crappy little no garage house with walls that are too tall and not plumb. They did not even run the damn cable while they were framing it up so the cable company came out and drilled a bunch of holes in the side of the house and ran it in there. When they did come over and work on it, nobody would look at us and if they did they gave us this nasty look. I assume that the MORON that we spoke to told them that we are these evil racists.
When I talked to him in person I told him of my concerns. He said that even a smaller house (with not garage) would increase the property value more then an empty lot that is overgrown. I told him that I had mowed that lot for the last nine years and it was NEVER overgrown.
Anyhow this is just dandy. They mowed the front yard once this summer. I don't know WTF they were doing because they would start the mower, run it for 30 seconds to a min. and then shut it off. Wait a couple min. Start it and run it for 30 seconds... etc. They never did mow the back. So the back yard has not been mowed yet this summer. I would have mowed it at least twice and probably three times by now.
So we get the best of both. We get a CRAPPY little built wrong house with people that hate us because they have been told we are racists, and we get an overgrown yard that looks like hell.
Brilliant. HABITAT FOR HUMANITY SUCKS.

Ranger rick says... balloons and super soakers filled w/roundup. What fun.
I agree with you.Habitat for humanity does suck! They're building their crappy homes in our neighborhood and they don't even consider how they are going to affect the value of our homes that are actually nice and well built, not a piece of crap low budget home!
