well...how'd you feel about that?
To be honest, it's not my business whether my neighbors want to fix their driveway cracks. You shouldn't have to paint or side your house because your neighbor does. This is just a case of tough luck or should have done better research before buying a house in this neighborhood. I know things happen out of our control, but come on ... we need to start taking a little responsibillity and quit blaming others for everything.
