The developer made tons of money on a forward looking basis from the market expectation that you would mow your lawn.
And everyone who sold their home for a profit did.
And everyone who is now making their home available as a traditional rental is.
And everyone who provides their home as a short-term (vrbo, airbnb, etc) rental is.

They don't care if you tear the house down to put in a parking lot (though your city probably does). > And everyone who sold their home for a profit did. > And everyone who is now making their home available as a traditional rental is. > And everyone who provides their home as a short-term (vrbo, airbnb, etc) rental is. And those people are the ones who own said lawn. Imagine if Walmart/Amazon/Google decided to open a shop on your lawn without compensating you.
- thayne 4y ago> Nah, they sold you land, a commodity. They don't care if you tear the house down to put in a parking lot (though your city probably does). That is not how developers work. They very much do care if you tear down your house and put in a parking lot, because unless you bought the last lot in the development, they still have more land in the area to sell, and your actions could decrease the value of that land.
