[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. We had no idea this was private property; it's a strip of grass outside his fenced-in back yard. We saw cans there the first time we put out our trash out 10+ years ago, as well as cans on other similar patches of grass up and down the alley. It's been the convention on the block that these patches of land outside of fenced-in yards are where cans get picked up on trash day. Anywhere from 1 to 3 houses' cans are on a given patch. It wasn't until this new neighbor told me that this patch outside his fence is his private property that it occurred to us: technically, these patches aren't all part of the alley's communal space (at least, not according to this neighbor). No one is questioning that he has the right to dictate whether and how his property is used by others. He's just not generating any good will here. [/quote] What have you done to generate good will with this neighbor? Community goes both ways.[/quote]
