Scary stuff .. I have seen up close family members undergoing treatment for a different cancer. Believe me, it is harsh, changes the rest of your life for the worse. .. Consider living in a townhouse and never having to handle these toxic chemicals ever. And saving oodles of your time for more fun stuff.

Or just don't use pesticides for your residential property.

Maybe I’m unique but growing up part of my chores (or punishment) as a kid was weeding - weeding the vegetable garden, weeding flower beds, weeding the stone driveway etc. - we would have never used chemicals around the house or on things you’re going to eat - we were definitely not a super “environmentally conscious” household but that just seemed like common sense…

Right? Grow some wild flowers instead of grass and plant some f*ckin trees. Americans love their yards but dont plant any trees. You know what creates shade?

I realized my rant is charged and unhinged. But idc. I hope at least 1 person sees this and pays the $200 to hire someone to plant a young tree in their yard.

Why a townhouse?
