"The calls, Monxo Lopez says, come almost every week."

"The phone number is usually one he doesn't recognize, and as soon as the voice on the other end asks whether he's the owner of 271 Alexander Avenue, he knows what they want.
"No, I'm not interested in selling," he says. Would he be willing to talk for a few minutes? "No," he says. Does he have a price in mind? "No." The conversations last less than a minute, he says, and they end when he tells the callers not to try him again."
