Use Chris Voss' "accusation audit" then bring up the problem you're having. I'm more-autistic than anyone one here except @Havoc and it works for me.

Hard for us to ignore 24-7 partying til 4am 7 days a week and throwing beer bottles into our yard. Illegal bottle rockets year round too! M80’s and probably some guns shooting in the air on the 4th and slamming on our door cursing at us when they are high on drugs even more fmlEverybody in my neighborhood gets along, zero conflicts in 24 years that I am aware of. But then again we mostly ignore each other too.
we have the neighbors from hell behind us. currently heading to mediation.
nuts what some people think they can get away with. prly the only time i wish we had an hoa since they would have a lien on their house for all the sh$t they put us all through
Do tellEveryone in my neighborhood helps each other out except for the entitled Morans behind me and their chitty drug addict kids
Some of my neighbors park defensively and some others down the block go so far as to cone off the street parking in front of their houses which I find kinda dickish. Parking here isn’t terrible but we do live close enough to LAX that I’ll see people park on our street and Uber from here to the airport. For sh!t like that I’d totally sign on for permit parking. But due to catalytic converter theft city wide I always park in my driveway unless I’m actively doing yard work and don’t really care about people parking in front of my house as long as they don’t park like ducks or leave their cars there for an extended stretch of time:On my little street there is only one homeowner who has been there longer than me. Been there about 30 years. The street is 50/50 mix year round residents and vacation homes. We've never had a parking issue in all those years until about a year and a half ago thanks to new construction and now four of the houses on the street are being used as airBnBs. I'm one of only two remaining original properties on the street that hasn't been subdivided so in front of my house is where people who generate more cars than they have parking want to park. Now we have a parking nightmare during the tourist season and shoulder weekends that never existed before. This summer my strategy was to spread out my cars in front of my own house and leave my driveway empty in case one of us has to go somewhere. Does that make me an asshole?
The worst of the airBnBs on my street is owned by one of our city councilmen. Motherfooker. Senior week he had about 15 kids staying in that house partying, being loud til all hours and setting off fireworks in the street at midnight. It was his renters that made me resort to my parking strategy above when they'd be out there slamming car doors and being loud in the middle of the night. Enough of that. Park in front of somebody else's house.It's actually gotten a lot quieter since the pandemic, when all the illegal Airbnbs got chased out. That was a nightmare. I learned a lot of dirty tricks during that time.
My block where I grew up used to have a neighborhood easter egg hunt/block party every year that my father and a couple other neighbors organized. Easter egg hunt for the kids followed by a pot-luck and the parents getting shitface drunk while we did god knows what. But it was a tight knit community for decades. Now I think there's only one original family left on the block and nobody talks to each other. It's sad. I think those kinda social events help bring communities together.When we moved into Cardiff in the 1980s my wife and a neighbor decided it would be “fun” to host a neighborhood block party (the paved alley behind our residences was the perfect location). They made invitations and walked the 2100 block stuffing the invites in mail boxes; BYOB and a ‘food to share.’ With the exception of the Covid scare the gatherings have been annual and well received. Realtors even use the ‘block party’ in their spiel with potential buyers as ownerships change. Have to say tyhe gatherings have always been fun. One neighbor brings his equipment, guitars and pianist to provide live music.
been there with a former neighbor (im still here, they gone)Had a seasonal neighbor try to claim "Adverse Possession" of 3 feet across my one property line in an attempt to block me from fencing in my back yard about 10 years ago. No small matter in a neighborhood where a 60 x 60 lot can now be worth a million $. They tore down the existing house to build a new one on the lot and then one day during construction they removed an existing hedge row thinking it was their hedge row to remove without asking thinking it would make their tiny yard bigger. (They were building to the maximum allowable lot coverage) In reality it was my hedge row. Came home from work and their contractor was finishing up the job. WTF!!!! I stayed calm and decided to put up a vinyl fence. I had to have something to keep my dog in. They took it too far and it ended up costing them a lot of money. Best part is when they made it official in a court filing claiming "Adverse Possession" to try to block me from installing the fence after they had harrassed us, our surveyor and the fence installer, my title insurance kicked in and provided a free lawyer to deal with the matter. The lawyer the title insurance company gave me was a real hardass SOB and ran them through the ringer. All told the matter probably cost these idiots between $15 and $20k. In the end, their back yard was still tiny and mine got quite a bit bigger thanks to the 60-foot long hedge row of 6' diameter forsythias being gone.
To my face or behind my back? I give zerofucks either way. Both are ratfuckers that cheat everyone they come in contact with. Everyone. It’s in their nature. One got me good, the other got shutdown on first contact. Both know that I have long time friends way above their pay grade in the asshole category. Both have had to take a trip out of the area until they could reconcile a misunderstanding. Some of those trips would be in the kidnapping for ransom category. There was another one but he got disappeared last year.What would they say about you?
I have a block wall on three sides of my place thats an easement. I'm pretty sure it's mine because all three sides are the same. I have no idea where the actual property line is but I also don't really care unless my neighbor tries to do something stupid which I don't really see happening since most of them have been there 20+yrs. As far as I'm concerned the wall is the line until someone says otherwise. I have no intention of replacing it or anything. My garage wall is also an easement with my neighbor on my Southside. It's right on what I believe is the line. It needs a new footing poured on that side to fix some leaks and some rot at ground level. I don't have the money to do it at the moment but already talked to my neighbor about it because it's going to have to happen on her side. She was super cool and laid back about it and just said something along the lines of "whatever you need, just let me know when so I can secure my Rottweilers and they don't eat your workers."been there with a former neighbor (im still here, they gone)
except being rural af it was about fence lines and grazing and a few acres. i tried being the "good" neighbor brought beers over and offered to lease it to them so they could continue grazing their
sheep. got a "fu thats our property" for my trouble.
well year and half, two surveys suits counter suits mediation and a lot line adjustment later they are out $30k with a net loss of 7 acres.
i took lno pleasure in it tho the extra sq footage is nice. once settled they sold out and bailed on the court order for them to move their fence.
new (18 years now) neighbors more better. we worked out the proper line and the woman part is even kinda hot. so a win i guess
Whadya mean? She works for UPS?or the fact that my wife is brown.
