It's great that they are doing exterior improvements, but I'm not convinced those exterior improvements will be that impressive...given the track record of the owners.
Well hopefully someone with enough money and enough heart offers to buy these places then.. they really do deserve better.

At least the interior was semi-renovated last time.
