Website Hurts Neighborhoods | Sacramento Real Estate Voice

BAD Neighbors and BAD Neighborhoods

February 12th, 2008 categories: Real Estate News, Sacramento

Sacramento Channel 3 news reported on a website that ultimately could have a devastating result on real estate and neighborhoods.

The website for reporting a rotten neighbor, in my opinion is an irresponsible maneuver on the part of those trying to make a buck on your back.

I took a look at the website and as usual those who want to get their names (rather their statements) in print, consider it a joke, are out for revenge and each signed anonymously. This to me is not only irresponsible but down right cowardliness.

It doesnt take rocket science to figure out that negative and possibly false information can ruin a neighborhood. This can and will effect every person anywhere close to the negative comments being published. It is nationwide, so watch out.

If you think the sub-prime real estate market has hurt the value of your home now, just wait for more of these money hungry websites to pop-up. We have seen the same type of websites pop-up to hurt Realtors. And of course, there are some bad Realtors just like there are bad neighbors. But, unfortunately, the people who write gibberish to hurt others never sign their name and the website junky who started the website is laughing all the way to the bank. This isnt about trying to help the public, this is about money!

The public has enough sense to check out a neighborhood during the day, at night and on weekends, I hope. If its really all that bad, I think it will be pretty obvious to home buyers. And furthermore, that is just one persons opinion and may not be something that would bug another.

I happened to notice when checking this irresponsible website out that there is also evidence of racial prejudice and in my opinion, slanderous.

For those that dont know how to handle a problem with a neighbor, talk to them. If talking doesnt work and the problem persists call your local authorities. There are community beautification staff, city ordinances and enforcement codes in place to help solve most problems.

If the problem is just annoying to you, and has no bearing on city or county ordinances than look the other way, move or maybe the neighbor that is annoying you will move. We dont always like everyone or everything but we DO need to act responsibly and always remember that our actions have consequences.

Its time to expect more from ourselves and of others. Boycott that website, dont feed into sensationalism.

Maybe, its time to read All I Really Need to Know I Learned in Kindergarten. Think before you ever write negative information about your neighborhood or anyone elses neighborhood.

This obviously hit a nerve and just like what the sub prime real estate loans did for real estate in todays market, I feel I have a responsibility to take a stand and not brush it under the rug. Sometimes, we think something is so ridiculous that we dont bother to stand up and be heard will you stand up?

Email me with your neighbor problem and lets solve it together, the adult way.

tip: to quote the greatest Author of all times treat your neighborhor as yourself
