A lot of property in our neighborhood is owned by People from out of state and I have no complaints about that Bay Saint Louis is a great place on the coast to vacation for these folks and it is great income for the county.
With that being said we should not allow these folks to leave abandoned houses in our neighborhoods, Do they care what our neighborhood looks like? how would they feel if I had a dilapidated house next door to them ?

I understand that some of the people could have come into hard times with the economy the way it is, but if that is the case sell to someone that will repair these places and let us get our neighborhoods looking good again. You are not looking at this crap every day, WE ARE..
