The fact is, there is no motivation for ownership of anything in the USA.<br /><br />In Arlington VA, county board people are sending out manpower to older middle class white people's homes to look for any and EVERY code violation so as to generate revenue.

I'm not kidding. 10 years ago I was in better shape to handle it than I am now. The longer the process goes on, the weaker I seem to get over a wide spectrum of issues.
