A lot of property owners lose their property because of this, but the politicians don't care. (And the people who run a town or county, although being business men, are still politicians). Most incorporated towns and cities have laws concerning abandoned houses and overgrown property, if the owner doesn't keep it clean, they do it for you and send you the bill. As you indicated,many of these landowners can not afford to pay for this, or they would have already had it done. In this day of so many "charity" organizations, one would think that someone would step in to help, but it doesn't work that way. Just think of all those who benefit by doing it the way the municipalities do it. First you have someone to clean off the property. (Of course this "someone" has connections at city hall.) This creates several jobs. Then it helps keep the girls in the office at city hall busy, because they have to send out the notices, and bills. Then if the poor property owner can't pay, the Sheriff has to serve notice to them, either by mail or personally. After that, the property is foreclosed upon and advertised for bid at the courthouse. (More paperwork for the girls.) Generally the property is bid off by a developer, (likely a friend of the Sheriff) and either a new dwelling or business complex is built at a substantial profit. Ain't it great how modern society works?

As long as a pool was at the end of our destination she was easy to please unlike the other two who have a multitude of requirements to travel with mom and dad. Amana Colonies served as a respite where we ate a family style lunch that sustained us with more food than could reasonably fit into our ample physiques. The show at Ankeny
