Cape Coral drew much attention from being named "The Foreclosure Capital of the World" several months ago. This title brought much attention to this tropical city on Florida's SW Gulf Coast. Buyers from around the world once again rushed to pay cash for the over-abundance of foreclosures in this boater's paradise.
Part of the challenge of being the "Foreclosure Capital of the World" is waiting for new Cape Coral Buyers to make their purchases and having homes once lovingly tended to and cared for sit vacant. Much attention has been placed on coming up with a solution and the community has shown just how "neighborly" they are by joining together to mow overgrown lawns in their neighborhoods. I have even heard of churches getting groups together on a Saturday to cut grass! Now that is true community!
Another solution has been to use tax payer dollars to cut the overgrown lawns. In fact, the City of Cape Coral spent $230,000 in tax payer dollars between June 2007 - July 2009 to pay lawn companies to maintain these unsightly yards.
Both are viable solutions which place the burden on the community. However, Cape Coral has shown itself resilient in these very difficult times and solution focused instead of problem focused.
