Several neighbors do this and it looks turrible. During our extended they all had brown yards.
My ole lady does this in our front yard (OCD driven). It drives me nuts. We were lucky half the yard didn't die during the mini-drought.

re: What was the feeling of helping Vietnam at the time at the start of the war?

Context: Sure, all 3 get that credit!
Kennedy’s starting point was Cold War communism containment. LBJ’s was deadman walking for leaning on McNamara and Westmoreland.
It’s Nixon that bothers me the most for his unfathomable selfishness and quest for power juxtaposed to the est 20-30k estimated unfortunate sons souls lost subsequent to his interference in his 1968 presidential campaign that sought to discourage South Vietnam from participating in peace talks before the election. And his 1970s delay for peace for reelection and Cambodia policies.
Unfathomable to me how selfish political power works. Destructive to a nation how all of the above portrayed publicly optimism for success while privately seeing evidence quite to the contrary.
Nixon, in particular, taught me that enemies sometimes wear the same uniform. I want to believe the U.S. wears the white cowboy hat. Vietnam era / politics, in particular, tainted that.
I was unaware of what Nixon did until I watched the Ken Burns documentary on Vietnam. The blood of thousands of American soldiers are on his hands. It's unfathomable that someone would sacrifice the lives of so many fellow Americans just to gain/keep power.

One could argue Vietnam started this nation's decline. We haven't recovered from it.

re: Homebuyer affordability slipped 5th straight month; Median Single Family Price: $446,400

Biggest problem is there are no "cheap" starter homes out there. Homes that should not be much more than $100,000 are getting listed at twice that or more. It's a crazy strain on the younger folks trying to start a life.,
I've said it for a while......owning a few rent houses is a smart business investment. More and more people will have to put off home ownership just to make ends meet.

honestly it was the 60s and 70s. You’ll have to rewire and maybe replumb but the bones were never better. Mass production of overseas building materials was not a thing yet, structural and interior framing and exterior envelopes were overbuilt because that’s what they had to work with.
that’s what I would be looking for if I were buying
These are built to last, many with solid wood paneling on the interior, but aesthetically they are shite to look at and they led to many of the old style homes in South Louisiana to be torn down (a great sin in my book).
There was an old plantation type home on the land my grandfather and parents landed on. It was the main house my grandfather lived in for several years, but it was torn down to build a ranch style, brick home. I would kill to live in that old house today. Sosay it was a bitch to clean (it was spacious) and my maw maw wanted it gone. Tore it down for cypress scrap and up went the ranch house. This was the early 70's as my dad built one at the same time. They are solid homes still standing today with good hurricane resilency but are not pleasing to the eye.

Same spot. shite won't grow. It can't be fungi. I guess I'll dig up a couple feet of soil and put fresh dirt. I don't know what else to do.
