Oracular advice

At least one realtor seems to think that good landscaping trumps choices of either native or exotic.

"Answer: From Los Angeles Realtor David Kean:

In my experience, it does not matter either way. A well-landscaped yard is just that. Some buyers may prefer native grasses and some may prefer rose bushes and a lawn. I've never had a buyer say: "I don't want this house because I hate the plant choices...."

All the more reason to renew my focus on design.
