You couldn't pay me to live like that...my 'hood is a smaller one where everyone knows everyone, and looks after each other. No 'clipboard Nazis', either. Houses here don't stay on the market long...

I suspect that picture is a result of the tracks being somewhat elevated compared to the surrounding area pls ballast, steel, and ties retaining heat better than grass.
