Could Really Use Some Opinions/Suggestions On A Bunch Of New Neighbors

Hoping and praying that your new next door neighbor is a very nice person. That will help a lot because she just might feel the same as you, and perhaps she will be able to encourage folks to be more considerate, etc. Lots of good luck to you, and let us know if your new neighbor next door is a nice, considerate person.

Are there any community services where folks can come in and check on you, perhaps take you to their center for an hour or two each day? Some type of services could be available. Also, maybe a social worker or someone can try to help bring more peace and quiet into your neighborhood. If you need medical help, I'm certain that someone from a community agency can help by sending a nurse out to see you, etc. Just thinking of options.

I am so sorry you are homebound, have to listen to all that krap and have no family/friends to help out. You are totally right to feel the way you do based on your description of the neighbors and their violations. I tend to agree with 4KICKS that unfortunately (and unfairly) you probably are the one who will have to adjust. It doesn't sound like your neighbors are willing to compromise. You might try talking to them again, one by one. Or you can keep calling the cops to come out on a case by case basis and quiet them down.

It really does s.uck when a neighborhood goes downhill. That happened in a neighborhood DH and I lived in once. We had ladies of the night hanging out near the fence of our apartment complex. Luckily we now own a house and we have plenty of space between us and our neighbors and it's a good neighborhood (knock-on-wood).

Good luck and I hope things get better.

I think you're going to have to live and let live. Most of your complaints are minor and petty. Most people are active, have friend and lives to live. As long as it's a public street w/o a no parking zone, people can park where they wish. Dogs bark...if they become excessive barkers you can call the police or animal control. Young men often have loud cars; hopefully they're going away when you hear them.

There has to be some tolerance on your part. Sounds like this is just a normal neighborhood with active people. Be careful that you don't get the reputation of being a fuss budget and trouble-maker. These people are "normal"; it's you who is abnormally quiet and sedate.

I think she has every right to be unhappy with inconsiderate neighbors. and I wouldn't call this just a normal neighborhood. People cannot park where they wish and cars that have been fitted with illegal parts that make them loud are just that, illegal and it doesn't matter if the owner is young or old. Calling the poster abnormally quiet and sedate is rude and uncalled for and unfair.

What you are having to endure is horrible. I am so sorry you can't have peace and quiet in your own home. That's the one place where we should enjoy serenity.

Call the city and see what their advice is.
