I don’t know , just looks like they’re getting ready for an estate sale 
I hate people like this. Completely unnecessary. Damn near all over the road.
Yep, then you end up with crazy HOAs in regular neighborhoods and it just becomes an endless cycle.
This is truth. Maybe a fancy garage sale.I don’t know , just looks like they’re getting ready for an estate sale
Most disabled veterans are partially disabled. The VA assesses a percentage for each disability. There are almost no benefits below 50%, more above that threshold and substantially greater benefits at 100%, including the no property tax (although that might be state by state). So yes they would have to have a 100% disability to qualify for that.
I live 200 feet from a property that is going to list north of $1M as soon as the elderly gal there moves into a retirement community. 200 yards the other way is a tiny trash house house with a trash and junk cluttered yard. Think the city is just waiting for that old guy to die. They don't enforce anything on him although as bad as it looks today it was even worse a few years back. I don't think anything has been thrown out, just reorganized to look slightly less trashy. Not that I think he's capable of handling a real cleanup. I could offer to pay for a dumpster and volunteer neighbors to do the lifting and he won't allow it. It's mostly mental barriers to getting this stuff cleaned up. For a neighborhood where teardowns go for over $300K there's been a surprising number of trash house, very old and mentally incapacitated peeps for the most part. One was emptied by workers in hazmat suits and than demolished around 2019. Now the lot has two $500k houses on it. Just weird doings in my hood.
BTW, I get how this happens to people gradually. Being an elder now I find it harder to get up "mentally" to do cleanups and stuff even though I am not physically challenged at all. I think it's also easier for solo elders to let things get away from themselves and sort of spiral out of control.

You live in Edina right? Lots of places in and around the Cities are similar. Older folks that have lived there a long time and have let stuff slip and rich younger couples moving in, demolishing the house and building way too big of a house for the area. Basically taking up the whole lot.
Not Edina but an Edina like neighborhood. I am right on the bordering street of a two x three block area of modest homes surrounded by what has always been upper middleclass housing (with some upper class peeps in million dollar custom houses). The little cluster is slowly being brought up to the level of the surrounding housing, sort like you cite for Edina but the houses are generally not "too big" for the neighborhood since the existing surrounding housing is big house, albeit on slightly bigger lots. I upgraded my house as much as the existing footprint would allow and than did a big addition in 2001. You'd have to look close to find the old house in the design. Helps if you're good buddies with your ISU architect neighbor. Also helps my setting when he also designed the house next door and two of the houses behind me on the alley. Hood's got some style it didn't have in the 1980-90's.
I just wished that some of the people spending SO MUCH money on building new would actually hire an architect and not just build something a developers designer sketched up for them. I'd swear developers designers, based on the multiple goofy roof lines in every new house, get a lumberyard kickback on how many rood truss they buy.
