I need to sell it. I will have to wait six months or so to get things in the right financial shape but the longer I wait the worse things seem to get. Values keep dropping and sales are not picking up. Everyone says the bottom is coming but I can't see if for the downward spiral we are in.

In short, it is in Atlanta. My zip code has more section 8 housing than the rest of the state and those properties and their tenants keep values depressed because they have nothing invested in the neighborhood.
Code enforcement is absolutely non-exsistent and the city government that runs it is corrupt. My house is 5 miles from the Governor's mansion and that crap doesn't fly in his neighborhood but it is the norm in mine. I am just tired of getting my property stolen (car was broken into last week for the 4th time) and I refuse to raise my seven month old daughter in this situation. I pay higher property taxes than the rest of the state and get worse city services for it. Water bills are the highest in the nation. The public school system here is getting national media attention because teachers and administrators held "cheating parties" to correct wrong answers on exams to get more funding. I won't be a part of it and need to move on. I don't mind high taxes and expensive government as long as the services I receive are stellar. They aren't and I am over it.
