This conversation began on the 6th with the other thread.
Today marks 3 full weeks of whine and lament about life in the modern world.

Get that appraisal done yet?
Anything productive?

When you get to the point where you're tempted to argue "It's not racist because Mexican isn't a race", that's the point where you should probably just stop.

You people are the ones fixated on their nationality;
No, you actually brought it up in your very first post. If you hadn't mentioned their ethnic background, it wouldn't be an issue.

But it IS a different culture, with different modes and standards of living and, yes, different values. Afraid you can't get around that.
And did you perhaps miss the half-dozen or so posts from people with Mexican neighbors (and spouses) who experience none of this behavior at all?

Lesson learned! Next time I complain about goat-slaughtering, wet-laundry-draping, front-yard tamale-making, and Mariachi-music-blasting, I will leave my audience completely in the dark as to country of origin.

Objectively, if true, the behavior you're describing would likely impact property value, is a concern, and puts you in a bad situation. But, speaking only for myself, the biggest problem is the way you take the actions of your neighbors and attribute it to all Mexicans. Bad neighbors come in all varieties.

What the realtor/appraiser recommended (you'll have to live without the details).

OK, so it's probably a steal too. There is another option. Purchase that house, fix it up and add to the value of the property you are trying to dump. After-all, It's only these people (as you stated) making your street bad.

The shared driveway with the two homes all fixed up might do a whole lot better as a package.

You keep bringing up "those Mexicans" in such away to think that the remainder of us would agree with you. I have seen white people pee out side. As far as the type of animal would you prefer that it was a pig or maybe a goose?
