Good topic for a thread, and it has been a while since anyone added to it- so I'll add my own comment.

In the neighborhoods with, say, half million dollar plus homes up to perhaps $1.5 million or so, it seems like there is a lot more competition from other scrappers. I say this because those neighborhoods have lots of homeowners who can afford to and do hire others to do their yard work. Those others typically have trailers with them and I've seen that many of them are scrappers in addition to being landscapers.
