IANAL but I'm not sure you can expect anyone to do anything about it. It's on their property, right? If you don't have an HOA to beat up on them, I think you're SOL. Not beating up on you, but consider: "My neighbor has really ugly landscaping" Would you expect anyone (again, short of an HOA, if then) to take any action? This is why subdivisions have HOAs. And they have their upside (keeping t

Way back when I was young and stupid, a buddy suggested we drive for a pizza. Six hours away. "Best pizza I've ever had", he swore. So we did. When we got there, it had gone out of business long before. So we wound up at a Pizza Hut. This was almost 40 years ago, but yep, dumb dumb dumb! And not ashamed to admit it. But we did have fun.

The C and D concourses at IAD are "temporary". That's why the train stops a half-mile from the C gates: it stops where the C gates are *supposed* to be, if and when they ever get replaced. Mind you, these "temporary" concourses have been there for over 30 years. Must be some definition of "temporary" with which I am unfamiliar...
