non enforced zoning makes Bradenton the junk pile

My wife and I moved to Bradenton several years ago to be in the sun-belt.
we chose Bradenton to it"s proximity to Sarisota and St.Petersburg ,unfortunately we didn"t check out the surronding areas .only later to find that the area from SR 301 south on 9th street( east) and other areas look just like a Texas border town. Unkept properties front yard filth and junk everywhere. Evidently the city of Bradenton is only able to cope with the high crime rate and can"t spare the time to send inspectors for zoneing violations , that is of corse if the city has any zoneing regulations to begin with,and or inspectors at all ?.
