Pool Maintenance in Foreclosure

In this gem, Casey (or ghostwriter) attempts to don the new "Foreclosure Avoider" persona to subtly shift the focus of the site to be a foreclosure assistance site.

Before we go into what is said here, can anyone tell me what the f a foreclosure assistance site is going to do? Set aside Casey & Nigel's endless thirst for a quick buck and attention. Wait, so let me get this straight. I'll give you $39 to talk with you for $20 to get ultimately referred to someone who's going to want MORE money from me so that you'll get a cut? Sign me up.

We learn in this post that Casey has a bit of a public health issue with his property. Clearly the neighbors have been complaining about this and turned him into the Mosquito Abatement District. I would imagine this pool has been festering in the sun, unattended and has become not only an eye sore, but a serious health hazard.

What does Casey do here?

Should I call the abatement and see what my options are? Or maybe I should wait a little longer for the answer on the second. Then I can tell them that we have the house in escrow and it should be selling soon and tell them that the new owners will start cleaning it up as soon as it’s closed. Please advise.

He hopes someone will tell him to stall while he continues to cower in his room (well his sister-in-laws room) until someone offers him a big chunk of money for... something.

I will give him credit for coining a term I doubt has been used before, pre-foreclosure property ownership. That's a gem.

When you think about the type of person who writes something like this, it's really sad. Casey is a boy who's world has never ceased to revolve around anyone other than himself. Most people would have been embarrassed into action immediately.

What probably happened behind the scenes is that he found out how much of a risk it was for himself to not act (probably in an email he didn't post) and reluctantly moved yesterday. It would have ruined his new Foreclosure Assister personality to show it takes serious consequences to get the boy to move.

No, I don't think he was forced to move due to legal consequences.

He probably expected some people to agree with him about "wait and the new owner will take care of it". Of course in the real world people don't act like they do in CaseyWorld and the result was almost unanimous to "get your lazy butt out to Modesto, Casey, and clean the damn pool".

The pool is a hazard to public health, with mosquitos and all kinds of filth growing in it. Last time he was at Modesto he photographed the pool and didn't do anything to clean it up.

Someone posted on EN that he was potentially facing up to $1k a day in fines.

I think he acted because he found that out.
