The back part of the development uses a very spacious layout. Most of the development is a traditional housing development layout with curvy roads and cul-de-sacs. I was *extraordinarily* lucky to get this place when I did. The neighbors beside my house haven’t been in the area since the downturn and I only see the people across the street sometimes during the winter when I’m on a walk. They don’t stay in the area during warm months.

But yes, I would agree that dead animal stink wouldn't be a problem at that distance. I don't think I'm obsessed with the topic, but as since the housing bust I've done remodeling and maintenance to get by, I've done a couple of stink abatement tasks - large rat and possum - and, whoa, the stink can really ruin a person's afternoon.

This is the first time I’ve come across a big dead critter on the property, and I’m (obviously) bordering on obsessive, but haven’t had time to visit. When I first learned of this, I contacted the local animal control to see if they would remove it for a fee, but they refused, and suggested burying it, contacting an animal rendering service, or waiting a while. The rendering service didnt return the call.
I too have been swatted by the downturn.
